Illusion of Abundance (2024)
Begun in 2022, Illusion of Abundance (IOA) is a grassroots racial, social and climate justice project. It exposes a climate and culture in crisis due to the declining Great Salt Lake. IOA illuminates the historical erasure of the natural world and indigenous knowledge systems that hold innovative and necessary concepts available for saving our climate holistically. Through dance, prose, intertribal interviews and song, research, and stunning cinematography of Utah’s waterways and the nature it supports, IOA immerses you in the possibility of positive change and building paradigms to include underrepresented voices in stewardship, artistry and decision making around natural resources, land use, and climate.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
