Serving as a bridge between cultures, Japanese-Iranian-American director Alicia Afshar embarks on a captivating journey through Iran’s golden pastime and into it’s harrowing present day genocide. Through a window of dreams, the film gives hope for a future that’s free from oppression.
The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of black, white and indigenous farmers who are using alternative "regenerative" models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America's economy - before it's too late.
‘Wind Meets Skin’ is an experimental short documentary about the intersection of motherhood and colonialism on the island of Vieques in Puerto Rico.
