THE LONGEST WALK follows the extraordinary journey of thousands of activists,
youth from all tribes, walkers from the famous 1978 Longest Walk, a Japanese delegation
of Buddhist monks and supporters from all walks of life, backgrounda and beliefs
that took part in the Longest Walk 2. The group walked for five months across the country
from Alactraz Island in the west, to Washington D.C. in the east, in the name of Mother
Earth. We walked to raise awareness on the various ecological threats endangering many
reservations and sacred sites across the country. Among these are the uranium mining menacing the
turquoise waters of the Grand Canyon's Havasupai tribe, the San Francisco Peaks in Arizona and the
mining developments over Chaco Rio, New Mexico, also referred to as Dooda Desert Rock.

This film documents our journey into the land, crossing the deserts of the Navajo Nation,
hiking across mountain ridges, the bayous of Louisiana, and up into the forest lands of the american
north_east. The walk concluded in D.C. with a triumphant entrance into the capital city, handing
over our carefully written Manifesto to Congress in a frenzy of journalists and celebrities. A three day
celebratory pow wow was then held on the Washington D.C. Mall.
