‘We Bear the Future’
No Man’s Land transports viewers to the stunning yet embattled Eastern Agency of the Navajo Nation in northwestern New Mexico. Here, increased oil and gas extraction has caused pollution and environmental harm, made worse by a checkerboard pattern of land ownership that complicates efforts to hold industries and government accountable.
Indigenous leaders like Kendra Pinto, Cheyenne Antonio, and Robyn Jackson are at the forefront of this battle. Equipped with an FLIR optical gas imaging camera, they expose the invisible pollution poisoning their land. Together, they lead a Toxic Tour for Navajo Vice President Richelle Montoya, showing the direct impact of extractive industries on their communities.
As Kendra Pinto states, “We bear the future.” The documentary emphasizes Indigenous women’s vital role in protecting their lands and future generations from environmental degradation.
The two-part series No Man’s Land sheds light on corporate greed’s ongoing exploitation of Indigenous communities and the history of white supremacy. The work of these Indigenous leaders is more than activism—it’s a fight for survival for their people and the Four Corners region, the land they call home.
