About this audiobook
The Wall and the Water is a Poetic Cinema journey through separation, access, resources, and the systems that shape how people grow. In the Concrete Garden, a towering wall divides flowers, redirects paths, changes relationships, and influences who can reach opportunity. But when the wall begins to fall, the Garden discovers that removing a barrier does not automatically repair what lies beneath it. Broken pipes, unequal water channels, scarcity, ownership, need, and responsibility create a new challenge. Through humor, symbolism, emotional intelligence, and cinematic storytelling, Vernon Snell explores a deeper question: How do we build a fairer Garden while respecting difference, contribution, evidence, and reality?
Break the unnecessary walls. Fix the broken pipes. Keep the water moving.
