Water From Another Time - PREVIEW

Purchase: http://www.der.org/films/water-from-another-time.html Water from Another Time is a documentary capturing the flavor of a life-style many of us have either forgotten or never known at all. The filmmakers visit three elderly residents of Orange County, Indiana, talk with them, enjoy their artistic creations, and learn something about the dignity and meaning of aging. Lotus Dickey, 70, who raised eight children by himself, sits under a catalpa tree by his parents' farmhouse, playing his violin and singing songs he wrote. Elmer Boyd, 80, a shy bachelor, shows an ingenious water carrying system he built for his aging parents in 1943. Artist and poet Lois Doane, 87, shows her albums and sketchbook, and reads some of her work. It was from one of Lois Doane's poems that the title of the film was derived.
