(DVD, Docurama)
Documentary about the government plan to relocate thousands of Hopi Indians from their reservation in New Mexico, apparently to make it easier for energy corporations to get at the minerals and oils buried underneath. Manages to work in an interesting history of the plight of the Hopi at the hands of the unmerciful government, but too often heavy handed and sensationalist to make a convincing argument.
