The debut film by acclaimed photographer Gwendolen Cates, WATER FLOWING TOGETHER will have its broadcast premiere on the Emmy Award–winning PBS series Independent Lens, hosted by Terrence Howard, on Tuesday, April 8, 2008, at 10:00 PM (check local listings). Called “one of ballet’s most creative personalities” by New York Times dance critic Anna Kisselgoff, Soto graced the stage of the New York State Theater for an amazing 24 years, partnering with such great ballerinas as Heather Watts, Darci Kistler and Wendy Whelan. When we meet Soto in WATER FLOWING TOGETHER, he is 40 and facing the daunting prospect of retiring from the only life he has ever known or desired. Soto was born on the Navajo Indian reservation in 1965, to a Navajo mother and a Puerto Rican father. And at that time and in that place, ballet dancing for boys was virtually unheard of.
