SYNOPSIS
From the majestic peaks of the snow-capped Sierras to the now parched Eastern California valley of Payahuunadü (Owens Valley), “the land of flowing water,” Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust poetically weaves together memories and insights of intergenerational women from three communities. Native Americans, Japanese American World War II incarcerees and environmentalists form an unexpected alliance to defend their land and water from the insatiable thirst of Los Angeles.
