This Land Is Whose Land? (2020)

"This Land is Whose Land?" examines the current land use controversy gripping the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. In December 2017, twenty-one-year-old boundaries were reduced by nearly half by the Trump Administration. Once protected lands are now open for drilling and mining. Told through the local lens of the people who live, work and play in the GSENM region, this film reveals the larger truths of the assault on public lands. Do these lands exist for future generations, or their mineral resources? Should there be local or federal control of these lands? Out of view of most people, decisions are being made by interests that don't necessarily represent the public good.
