An intriguing work in which documentary and fictional elements come together, Walk the Walk is a cross between diary notes, travelogue, and family drama. At the center is the story of an interracial family that lives near the sea. As the daughter leaves to experience the world on her own terms, the organic balance that has sustained the family shifts. Using location shooting and improvisational performance, Kramer hybridizes his narrative by intercutting documentary footage of the maritime setting and adjacent industrial and agricultural areas to create a profound sense of the relationship between place and emotion.
