Join us for a special screening and a panel discussion featuring the filmmaker Jeff Spitz and Navajo elders who appeared in this landmark documentary about the effects of uranium mining, the film industry, off-reservation adoption, and the legacy of nuclear colonialism on the Navajo Nation.
The Return of Navajo Boy is an intimate Navajo-centered story focused on one family’s incredible history in pictures. Pictures voiced suddenly by the photo subjects break stereotypes and reveal a hidden history of abandoned uranium mines, radioactive contamination, and the haunting mystery of a long-lost child taken by missionaries in the 1950s.
