Set against the backdrop of the 2020 election, a global pandemic, and in the midst of a contentious presidential transition period, SOMETHING IN THE WATER is a narrative of America. Seen from the perspectives of people from all walks of life at this spectacularly unique moment in history, Americans across the United States find themselves living at intersectional points in their lives; where families, health, occupations, and country have created a dynamic that is filled with numerous challenges simultaneously, and that fosters a message of solidarity and the foundational belief that dignity and justice belong to everyone.
