Earth Spirit Soundtrack (2006)

Synopsis

Young Jesse's drugs and petty crimes force his mother to take him out of town and they return to their desert ranch where his father has lived and worked alone after they separated years before. To end her fight against poverty, she puts up the mining rights to the land for sale. A spirit rises from the land to capture Jesse and turn him around until he changes and joins her father in protecting the land from exploitation by oil and mining interests. This fictional story was inspired by the many decades of struggle of the Hopi and Dineh peoples against mining Black Mesa in Arizona for coal, oil, and uranium. Their problem is not unique, but typical of what is happening on the lands of many indigenous peoples around the world.
