We Are Parable have launched the UK trailer for Savanah Leaf’s poetic and powerful feature debut, Earth Mama, starring Tia Nomore and Erika Alexander.
The film follows Gia (Tia Nomore), a pregnant single mother, with two children in foster care who embraces her Bay Area community as she fights to reclaim her family. A delicate yet raw portrayal, it explores the experience of black single mothers fighting the foster care system and a society that expects them to fail and strips them of their agency.
Making her screen acting debut in the leading role of ‘Gia’ is rapper and musical artist Tia Nomore. The film also stars Erika Alexander, rapper and musical artist Doechii who also makes her acting debut, Keta Price, Sharon Duncan Brewster, Dominic Fike and Bokeem Woodbine.
Also in trailers – Jesse Eisenberg & Adrien Brody star in trailer for dark comedy ‘Manodrome’

Pregnant again, she struggles to convince the authorities that she will be a responsible mother, and faces some harsh truths in a program designed to get her through the trimesters and reward her with her children. When a social worker finds a family to adopt her expectant child, she has to make more decisions than she is equipped to handle.
”Earth Mama” is in theaters since July 21st. Featuring Tia Nomore, Erika Alexander, Doechii, Keta Price and Olivia Luccardi. Written and directed by Savannah Leaf.

With Earth Mama, writer-director Savanah Leaf seems to be taking up James Baldwin’s evergreen adage that “anyone who has ever struggled with poverty knows how extremely expensive it is to be poor.” As the pregnant Gia (Tia Nomore) fights a foster care system on multiple fronts, Leaf throws us, head-first and in anxiety-inducing fashion, into the middle of an interlocking system of structural inequality seemingly designed to keep people trapped in cycles of hopelessness, in the process tearing families apart.
When we meet the single mother of two in Oakland’s backwater streets, Gia has already been stripped of most of her parental rights thanks to, we learn, a history of drug addiction. Though steadfast in her determination to prove to the courts that she’s a committed mother, Gia is hamstrung by the impossible and incompatible expectations that she somehow work enough to pay off child support, fit...

The summer movie season might be best known for its big-budget blockbusters and franchise sequels, but there’s a notable benefit for indie film lovers as well: the films that premiered at Sundance begin to open in theaters. The next few months will see several festival circuit hits open in arthouses, but few are more anticipated among cinephiles than “Earth Mama.”
Savanah Leaf’s directorial debut, which follows a single mother struggling to navigate the welfare state with her third child on the way, was widely seen as the arrival of a bold new cinematic voice on the indie film circuit. A24 bought the project months before it even made its way to Sundance, and a new trailer is offering audiences a preview of what they have to look forward to this summer.
