Bitterroot

Directed and Written by Vera Brunner-Sung
[In-Person for post film Q&A!]

When life is thrown into chaos, sometimes both comfort and a path forward lie in the most familial of places. Rural Montana provides such an opportunity for a middle-aged Hmong American man reeling from a failed marriage, now responsible for taking care of his aging mother… and her root vegetable garden. As he shoulders this duty, his attempts at finding peace are stymied as the stunning landscapes around him are struck by wildfire.
