Baba, a former resident of a Leprosy Ashram, shares his life insights  with his grandson on the banks of the Ganges. Meanwhile, Dhan Ji  prepares for a ritual cleansing ceremony that Baba wishes for himself. 
SHUDDHI reveals the reality of Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) and it's  enduring stigma, creating a meditative portrait of familial tenderness  and cultural respect against the backdrop of India's rivers, landscapes,  and a remaining hospital for the disease.  SHUDDHI, a poetic blend of  documentary and auteur cinema, interweaves themes of humanness, fear,  love, judgement, and the never-ending cycle of water.

DEVOUT
DEVOUT is a journey through contemporary monastic life as experienced by a 22-year-old Georgian Orthodox monk, Father Anubi. DEVOUT reveals an archaic utopia, a timeless spiritual sphere that is as beautiful and harsh as the mountain terrain of the Caucasus, tempting but unforgiving, a riddle like god and faith and as mysterious as the human condition. 

DEVOUT is an artistic documentary that abandons the traditional cinematic narrative format shifting the focus to reflect metaphoric and allegoric interpretations of the film's content.

WILLFUL BLINDNESS
WILLFUL BLINDNESS rakes the boundaries of distant memory and familiar present. Three interwoven narrative threads are reconstituted in an unconventional, experimental, kaleidoscopic roller coaster ride that becomes this visual experience. Surreal and shocking, yet oddly meditative, WILLFUL BLINDNESS is a stunning journey into personal choice and survival.

“Higginson takes the concept of film to its final limits---that it is not the camera that is the projector, it is us, our minds, reaching out of the depths of the repressed impulses who streams our darkest fears onto a helpless blank white screen. Powerful and moving, even frightening, Willful Blindness is an act of art.” 
Jeanne Willette, IMDb review, June 2012.
