Then the Wind Changed had been awarded the coveted Walkely Documentary Award for 2012. Congratulations to Celeste for this historic achievement!
“As both an observer and a participant in the story, Celeste Geer achieved rare intimacy with the members of her community as they put their lives together long after the headlines had moved on. Her film blends dramatic archival footage with survivors’ stories of grief and recovery, and prompts an emotional response,” the judges said.
