Paper Rocket Productions: A decolonizing epistemology of young Indigenous filmmakers

This interview explores the significance of Paper Rocket Productions—an independent film company co-founded by young Indigenous filmmakers in Northern Arizona, USA. The author highlights why their artistic works are exceptional, followed by a discussion with two of the filmmakers and co-founders of the enterprise. The conversation brings attention to their filmmaking, primarily to the forthcoming feature-length documentary Water is Life - Tó éí ’iiná até. This film reveals how the industrialization of the Navajo Nation negatively affects the sacredness of water and traditional ways of life, and the interview calls attention to how Paper Rocket Productions relates and contributes to a decolonizing epistemology.
