CURRENT WORK
A proposed copper mine pits the preservation of Indigenous sacred land against the survival of a rural town. Two young leaders, fighting to save their homes, become bitter political enemies. They also form an unlikely bond. Caught in an iconic battle over the identity of American soil, will these two dreamers be able to help their warring communities find common ground?
“Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.”
― Yip Harburg (composer of Somewhere Over The Rainbow)
