Manzanar Diverted

2022

Client: Manzanar Diverted

Directed by legendary filmmaker Ann Kaneko, the Manzanar Diverted documentary explores the history and impact of the Manzanar WWII concentration camp, and its connections to water rights in the Payahuunadü region. The film highlights the collaboration between Native American, Japanese American, and rancher communities in defending their land and water resources, and we felt it deserved a design that reflected the somber and informative nature of the film. Users can watch the film trailer, access educational resources like story maps and timelines, and learn about events related to the documentary. The site also provides options to donate to the impact campaign, purchase merchandise, and sign up for newsletters, fostering community engagement around the film’s themes.
