ABOUT THE FILM
"And Water Brings Tomorrow" follows the Close California Prisons Campaign of the CURB coalition (Californians United for a Responsible Budget), an interfaith pilgrimage to close immigrant detention centers in the Southwest, and an effort to halt the building of a new prison in Appalachian coal country. Juxtaposed with portraits of prisons that have become museums, restorative justice centers, tourism hubs and anonymous ruins, the film is woven together with a poetic narration on what is reckoned with or erased in each prison's repurposing.
