The intent of the film is to create awareness and action by telling the story of Cancer on the Navajo Nation through the eyes and voices of the people who have been impacted by the cancer-causing uranium on Native lands and the impact of Environmental Racism that persists today.
We have formed a large team of Navajo and Hopi tribal members, including the Navajo Nation government itself, that are ensuring every frame is culturally appropriate. Additionally, this community is in full support of our film knowing the kind of attention and support for social change it could bring.
It is often said that at the core of any documentary is a story that must be told. THIS is one of those stories. The reaction to disparities in cancer care among American Indians has been jaw-dropping and has garnered attention from media, donors, corporations, community leaders, and even the White House. In fact, the First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden is in our film and very supportive of our mission.
