As rising sea levels threaten the loss of their motherland in Hawai’i, the Phillipines, China, and North America, four women take a stand to preserve the volcano, ocean, land, and air for future generations.


Director's Bio

Jess X. Snow is a queer Asian-Canadian public artist, filmmaker, poet, and educator. She holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and is currently studying directing in the MFA program for Film at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts. As a result of the rootlessness and migrations that marked her childhood, she developed a stutter which she overcame through her discovery of visual and written language.
