THE WASH

The Wash is a portrait of the river Wash that runs behind Newhall, where Lee and I used to live. The film describes the ways the Wash is used, and the people who use it, ourselves included. It charts the way this land has changed since they began developing Newhall and the surrounding community of Valencia for housing, which is expected to bring more than 250.000 people into the area by the year 2015.
