30 mn
A 30-minute documentary with views captured in the Timbisha Shoshone Homelands, including the 2026 Superbloom and Lake Manly (Badwater Basin). Wisdom shared by Pauline Esteves and an appearance by actor Derek Hinkey (Netflix's American Primeval's Redfeather)
Synopsis
For thousands of years, the Timbisha Shoshone have survived the extremes of Death Valley. But their greatest battle wasn't against the desert—it was against erasure.
Through the undeniable history recounted by elders like Pauline and Joe Kennedy, and the urgent, present-day fight led by Jimmy-John, this film explores the ongoing struggle for sovereignty, transparency, and the very survival of the community. The land has a spirit, but protecting it requires a new generation to stand its ground.
Director: Jimmy-John Thompson
