The Oteros

JJ Otero, 48, lives in the family mobile home, on the Navajo reservation in New Mexico. A musician and a jewelry maker, he went back to live on his native land to take care of his parents, but also to connect with this land, its people, its history.
His mother Elsa, his father Chester, and his daughter Kiley share, in their everyday life, an existence that is also a resistance.
