Voices over the Water / Remembrance Overview

Voices Over the Water: Pride in our ethnic roots is widespread in America. We all want to belong, and being part of more than one culture is commonplace. Voices Over the Water is a story about tragedy and opportunity, about loss and survival, irony and consequence. As Americans, we espouse the ideals of individualism and freedom. Among those seeking this "Paradise on Earth," were people from the Highlands of Scotland. They spoke a different language and wore strange clothing. They had a hard choice: abandon those things that made them distinctive, or risk isolation and failure.Today when Scottish roots and culture are celebrated, a modern identity is front and center. A colorful, romantic image that may have originated in something far more sinister. Voices Over the Water searches for what lies behind these celebrations and pageantry, uncovering tragedies, often unspoken and perhaps misunderstood. Remembrance: An old woman with Alzheimer's goes on a journey through her childhood memories to find something she once lost.
