Spirit Lands and the Great West is a visual and
musical journey to some of the most spectacular, beautiful and awe-inspiring natural
wonders of the American desert. Emmy Award winning cinematographer David
Fortney spent four years collecting imagery for this project traveling to every
desert location in America, including seven National Parks. A variety of
innovative filming techniques were used in the production of this non-narrated,
visual masterpiece, including motion control, time lapse and low level aerial
cinematography. The film is accompanied by a musical score featuring evocative
Native American music by John Huling and R. Carlos Nakai. Also included are
beautiful and inspiring texts by Native American Wisdom Keepers, with
quotations and prayers celebrating our connection with the earth and the need
to respect and honor her.
On this magical journey, you will visit the surreal and beautiful Mono Lake in California, and the following national parks: Arches National Park; Grand Canyon National Park; Death Valley National Park; Zion National Park; Canyonlands National Park; Bryce Canyon National Park; Joshua Tree National Park.
Bonus Program: The Great American West, narrated by Jason Robards.
