We Are Puget Sound Short Film featured in the Foundation's Grassroots Film Fest in film festival!


WEC and Braided River are excited that our #WeArePugetSound short film featuring Tahmina Martelly's efforts to rip up unused pavement and plant food gardens is included in the Healthy Land Healthy Communities track. As the manager of Resiliency Programs, she envisioned and led an innovative effort with asylees, immigrants, and refugees to tear up an unused hillside parking lot and replace it with food gardens and a rain-collection system – diverting many thousands of gallons of polluted storm runoff before it could reach the Duwamish River and Elliott Bay on Puget Sound. Don’t miss this inspirational video of Tahmina’s work, passion, and dedication to serving her community.

Please take a moment to visit The Grassroots Film festival website for more information.

Thank you, Rose Foundation, for such a wonderful line-up of inspiring films!
