The third in a film cycle on today’s abolition movement through the lens of closing prisons, including Ashes Ashes (2020) and Double Time (2022), And Water Brings Tomorrow (2025) tells this story against the backdrop of climate forces changing our very world. It 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.
Slated for release in 2025, we are raising money to fund a grassroots tour of the film for community organizations dealing with prison closures around the U.S.
If you are able, please consider contributing to this campaign by choosing one of the rewards.
