This documentary tells the magical story of how an unlikely group of citizens from a small desert town came together to stop a developer from bulldozing a thousand-year-old Indian ruin. Against all odds and their own foibles, the protesters used non-violent civil disobedience to accomplish what they were told was impossible.
