Freshwater (9 minutes 43 seconds)
Directed by Dream Hampton
Detroiters experienced an enhanced form of water destruction from massive flooding that destroyed homes, belongings and lives in the summer of 2021. The water rose in streets, alleys, yards and, most devastatingly, in people’s homes, where it submerged possessions and memories, and surfaced emotions many were not prepared to confront. 2022 Blackstar Film Festival; Freep Film Festival; Gary International Film Festival; Chicago International Film Festival; RiverRun International Festival; Mountainfilm Festival; Media City Film Festival.
