Seagrass

Written and directed by Vancouver actress and filmmaker Meredith Hama-Brown and set on the B.C. coast, the director’s reflections on her racial identity build into a powerful drama about marriage, childhood, parenting and family dynamics. The parents and children of an interracial marriage struggle with personal and social pressures, leading to a climax which changes the family forever.
