Unable to pay for her mother's medical treatment, Lupe Reyes, a Mexican-Navajo mechanic, ventures to Alta Valley to seek financial help from her estranged father, Carl. On the way, she befriends Maddy Monroe, an outlaw cowgirl on the run from a Mexican mob boss. When they finally meet Carl, his vile crimes are revealed, including his illegal trades and the mistreatment of Lupe's distant Navajo family. In order to save her mother, Lupe must defend herself, her heritage, and overthrow the insidious exploitation of her people and their land.
Writer/director Jesse Edwards’ debut feature perfectly captures an honest and significant conversation around colonization, land ownership, and necessary reparations to the Native American people.
Directed by Jesse Edwards
