Under the Ground

Great Altar Desert, Mexico-US border. On one of the most dangerous and highly militarized borders in the world, the binational Tohono O’odham community, indigenous inhabitants of the desert, experience their everyday nomadism as a form of resistance against the multiple threats that assail them.

This is a film about the resistance of a people who are preparing to defend themselves against an impending war. A celebration of hope represented by a community that will not give up.

Seen through the eyes of the men and women who migrate in search of a better life, The Endless Frontier is a story of will and hope during a journey that could become endless.
