Feet in Water, Head on Fire, directed by Terra Long and written and produced with Mireya Martinez and Sharlene Bamboat is finally coming home!! 

Along the San Andreas fault line in Southern California, Indigenous palm trees and imported date palms flourish. The people who tend to them reflect a landscape of frictions and affections shaped over generations by agriculture, luxury real estate, and border politics. Like the infinity storytelling of The 1001 Nights, stories fold into dreams and back into stories, a constellation of voices settle over mountains and into the earth. Intertwining color 16mm with textural black and white film hand processed with the dates leftover from harvest and plants native to the valley. (Trailer)
