In the Mojave Desert of Southern California, the world's energy companies converge to produce power.
The LA Times indicates, we are at a “Flashpoint” between competing value-systems. Bodies have been exhumed, and geoglyphs destroyed, in an area that is a long-term indigenous settlement.
“Who Are My People?” depicts how the world's energy firms have met their match in a small group of Native American Elders, in the hottest desert on the planet.
The film takes us behind the scenes of two of the largest solar projects in the world, "fast tracked" by US renewable energy policies.
With Don Alfredo Figueroa (Yaqui, Chemehuevi), Reverend Ronald Van Fleet (Mojave Traditional/Hereditary Chief), Phil Smith (Chemehuevi), and Preston Arrow-weed, (Quechan/Kamya)
