“An engaging and thoughtful plea for sustainability.” - Rouven Linnarz, Asian Movie Pulse

From the majestic peaks of the snow-capped Sierras to the parched valley of Payahuunadü, “the land of flowing water,” Kaneko’s award-winning documentary poetically weaves together memories of intergenerational women. Native Americans, Japanese-American WWII incarcerees and environmentalists form an unexpected alliance to defend their land and water from Los Angeles. Chicago premiere.
