Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust

Ann Kaneko (Dir), 84 minutes, USA, WNY Premiere

From the majestic peaks of the snow-capped Sierras to the parched valley of Payahuunadü, “the land of flowing water,” Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust poetically weaves together memories of intergenerational women. Members of the Lone Pine Paiute Shoshone Nation, Japanese-American WWII incarcerees and environmentalists form an unexpected alliance to defend their land and water from Los Angeles.

Please note that in addition to being an Official Selection from Oct 7-11 during the 2021 Film Festival, Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust is also part of BIFF ENCORE Oct 15-18!!!!
