EPI Inthrive Film Festival

Info: Directed by Ashley Hunt, And Water Brings Tomorrow follows formerly incarcerated people who are leading efforts to close down prisons and replace them with new networks of care, harm reduction, and a national call to redefine what “safety” means. Stories of a campaign to close prisons in California, of an interfaith pilgrimage to close immigrant detention centers in the Southwest, and an effort to halt a new Pr*son from being built in Appalachian coal country, each is woven between meditative portraits of prisons across the U.S. that have been shuttered and turned into museums, restorative justice centers, tourism hubs and anonymous ruins. With themes of grief, beauty, historical memory, and our power to overcome our circumstances and remake the world together, the film asks what it takes to reckon with the catastrophe of mass incarceration — bringing a needed attention to its ongoing damage and the visions to build beyond it.
