Watercress

A film about the power of sharing memories—including the painful ones—and the way our heritage stays with and shapes us, even when we don’t see it. 

Adapted from the 2022 Newbery Honor, APALA Award Winner, Caldecott Medal Winner, and The New York Times’ Best Children’s Book of the Year.
