The Meaning of Tea
In Person: Scott Chamberlin Hoyt, director
Traveling from throughout Asia and Europe to the city of Tea, South Dakota, this engaging, whimsical documentary questions whether there is any inherent “meaning” in tea—particularly in an era dominated by mass-marketing and fast food. The film investigates both tea’s significance in places where it is still revered and the larger role it could someday play in the world. (dir.: Scott Chamberlin Hoyt, 2009, United States, 74 min., English, video)
