Shot over the course of four years with Din\u00e9 (or Navajo) community oversight and guidance, the film examines the legacy of uranium extraction from the perspectives of both the landscape and its inhabitants.

He is happy there and will bother no-one unless disturbed. Uranium, for millions of years to come, is perhaps this demon made real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the film and view the trailer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.demonmineral.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-uncropped-large wp-image-2621\" src=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/department-comparative-cultural-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/333\/64dbbe1a-a54d-463b-9c5c-20125ad45aa3-600x600.png\" alt=\"The image shows a barren desert landscape against a turquoise background.
