It sounds clich� but it still feels like yesterday that I got off the plane to Cortez after being invited by local activists to help deal with the aftermath of his death on this small town in the Four Corners region of Colorado. A new film could not be airing at a better time.
As I say in Two Spirits, airing on PBS's Independent Lens next week, all I could think to myself as the plane landed was "why do I keep going to such beautiful places for such awful reasons?" What I inevitably think is also "Why do such terrible things happen to good and beautiful people?"
