Written and directed by Klee Benally, this micro-budget feature was made with an all-Indigenous production crew powered by members of the Indigenous youth project Outta Your Backpack Media. The film takes a “punk-rock cinema” approach to tackling social impacts of forced relocation.

Power Lines is a coming of age story about a young Diné (Navajo) poet who runs away and finds home. Halee (Nezbahee Williams) is a 16 year old Diné relocation refugee who uses poetry to escape from her painful past and present. When Halee’s abusive father crosses a line, her best friend Selma (Kayla Dailey) helps her run away. Their journey to Halee’s homeland takes a turn when she discovers her father (Tony Skrelunas) has been hiding a secret that has the power to change Halee’s life forever.
