LIVING ALONG THE FENCELINE

Living Along the Fenceline, a feature-length documentary, tells the stories of seven women whose lives have been affected by the US military presence in their backyards.

The film connects the stories of women from Texas, Puerto Rico, Hawai’i, Guam, the Philippines, Korea, and Okinawa (Japan) and their efforts to create genuine security in their home communities. Award-winning filmmaker Lina Hoshino had unprecedented access to members of an international women’s network who recount their experiences in an accessible and profoundly human way.

Releas date: September 2010. Funders include:Puffin Foundation, Global Fund for Women, Henry Luce Civil Liberties Fund, and Women for Genuine Security.

I GIVE YOU TO THESE KIND WATERS

In this 30-minute, broadcast-length film, Lina Hoshino will turn the camera onto herself, revisiting her own past abortion through participating in a Buddhist ritual (the “Mizuko Kuyo” or “water baby” ritual) of dedicating “Jizo” to the aborted fetus.

Funders include Pacific Pioneer Fund.
Projected Release date: October, 2010.
