Metal From The Dirt
A document of the originators of the DIY Rez Metal scene, and the bands that are now carrying the torch, including I Dont Konform, Mutilated Tyrant and Born of Winter. From a generator-powered show in the Arizona desert to a band practicing in a traditional Navajo dwelling called a Hogan, this story — told by Navajo ("Diné") bands and individuals involved in the scene — explores the creation of Rez Metal in the Eighties, the juxtaposition of old and new Navajo traditions and the link between heavy metal and native pride.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
