The Long Valley

Does dreaming allow us to imagine a better future, or prevent us from living our current lives? Shot in tableaus that sit in the space between film and still photography, the film documents the land and the people who work it. Reappropriating the talking head to open questions rather than answer them, Central and South American immigrants living in the Salinas Valley share divergent perspectives on the passage of time, acceptance of reality, and finding the space to dream.
