It’s a phenomenon that touches the lives of nearly every Navajo. Every family has a member who has left. Young people dream of opportunities. And the elderly are often left alone with few to care for them.

Those long distances and rugged terrains are the same ones that have sculpted political campaigns in the 2024 election. As both Democratic and Republican parties try to scoop up any and every vote in the far reaches of Arizona, a swing state, organizers have had to be creative in their campaigning on Native lands.Wolff is living contentedly out of an Airstream RV, with an office back at the research center full of young autistic computer hackers. The scenes here are clunky and don’t always move the story along — there’s an aimless but moderately funny one of Wolff speed dating.

Running time: 125 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
