And Water Brings Tomorrow

And Water Brings Tomorrow looks at closed prisons amidst the climate crisis. Following the community forces behind prison closures and the movement to stop new ones, the film considers what closed prisons have turned into, and the forms of loss and reckoning that their closure and repurposing often fails to address. While the U.S. is investing billions of dollars in building new prisons and increasing its carceral control over communities, And Water Brings Tomorrow shows what the long fight looks like — a reminder in a time of despair how we think beyond the present crisis and that the movement for abolition is still strong.
