‘Who Are My People?” Trailer
In the Mojave Desert of Southern California,
the world’s energy companies converge to produce power. Large environmental groups like NRDC and the Sierra Club have partnered with energy companies and utilities. They’ve destroyed ecosystems, migrating birds, tortoise, and sacred places from ancient civilizations.
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.
The film takes us behind the scenes of two of the largest solar projects in the world,
“fast tracked” by US renewable energy policies.
