- In the summer of 1966, filmmaker Sol Worth and anthropologist John Adair, brought silent film equipment to Pine Springs, AZ on the Navajo reservation in order to teach local Navajo youth how to make films. The resulting seven films, now considered the first produced by Navajo, were considered research data, offering unique insight into a specifically Navajo visual language. The films became iconic; they screened internationally for over 4 decades but rarely were seen by other Navajos. In 2013, Doing the Sheep Good charts the homecoming of these historic films, following community members as they plan the first local screening in over 46 years. More than just an act of repatriation these films reinvigorate familial relationships, including the Navajo filmmaker herself as she discovers her own kin ties to the community. This is a story of Navajo people as they redefine their history and imagine new futures through the legacy of film.
