Halee is a 16-year-old Diné (Navajo) relocation refugee who uses poetry to escape from her painful past and present. When Halee’s abusive father crosses a line, her best friend Selma helps her run away. Their journey to Halee’s homeland takes a turn when she discovers her father has been hiding a secret that has the power to change Halee’s life forever. This micro-budget feature was made with an all-Indigenous production crew powered by members of the Indigenous youth project Outta Your Backpack Media. The film takes a “punk-rock cinema” approach to tackling social affects of forced relocation.
