Two oil refineries pollute Swinomish land in Washington State. For centuries, this Native American community has been dependent on the natural resources of the Skagit Valley for its livelihood. Now the refineries not only threaten the environment but also the economy of the native people. Intent on finding solutions, three teenage members of the Swinomish Tribe arm themselves with cameras and travel across the country to meet the politicians who can help. With lighthearted candor, Cody, Nick and Travis transform their own troubled lives as they learn about their culture and their environment.
