SANTA BARBARA — UCSB Arts & Lectures to present FREE film screening and conversation of “Manzanar, Diverted: When Water Becomes Dust,” featuring Director/Producer Ann Kaneko on Thursday, April 7th at 7:00 p.m. at Pollack Theater.
An inspired and poetic portrait of a place and its people, Manzanar, Diverted explores the rich yet painful history of California’s Owens Valley, from colonization to water rights. Capturing the intersectionality of the region, the award-winning film chronicles the efforts of an unexpected alliance of Indigenous, environmental activist and Japanese-American World War II incarceree women as they defend their water, history and culture against Los Angeles’ endless thirst. (Ann Kaneko, 2021, 84 min.)
