Manzanar, Diverted When Water Becomes Dust: A Film Screening from POV by PBS
Manzanar, Diverted When Water Becomes Dust is a film by Ann Kaneko and Jin Yoo-Kim.
Three communities intersect, sharing histories of forced removal – Japanese Americans who were incarcerated at the Manzanar WWII concentration camp, Native Americans who were forced from these lands, and ranchers turned environmentalists, who were bought out by the LA Department of Water and Power. How do they come together in the present moment to defend their land and water from Los Angeles?
This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
