Description

TREASURE ISLAND explores how children living in public housing on a former naval base have created fantastical stories about the real dangers they face due to the radiation buried beneath their homes. Ethical, class, and environmental issues in San Francisco begin to surface through this collision of fantasy and realism. Directed by local filmmaker Elizabeth Lo.
