“Epic in scope but intimate in feel, Simple as Water is a meditation on the elemental bonds between parent and child from Academy Award-winner Megan Mylan (Lost Boys of Sudan, Smile Pinki). A masterful look at the impact of war, separation, and displacement, Simple as Water takes us into Syrian families’ quests for normalcy and through the whirlwind of obstacles—to building life anew. Filmed in Turkey, Greece, Germany, Syria, and the US, Mylan’s sensitive camera reifies the universal importance of family.
Simple as Water is presented in partnership with ReSet Westchester. This film is part of the Community Matters: Now More Than Ever series which is sponsored by The Thomas & Agnes Carvel Foundation, Louis & Anne Abrons Foundation, and Theodore & Renee Weiler Foundation.”
