The film illustrates the unique biodiversity of all of the Sky Islands area with a focus on the Patagonia Mountains and along Sonoita Creek.  The film’s narrator is Wildlife Biologist/Naturalist/Ethnobotanist Vincent Pinto, a renowned expert on biodiversity  He has been inspiring people from all walks of life about the natural world since 1987, particularly in the Sky Islands region.

The film creates a composite image of what the flora and fauna of the area currently look like—contrasting this with likely scenarios should full-scale mining occur without sufficient oversight and mining company accountability to the community.  The film includes the stark impacts of such mining activity on the water and wildlife and the people who live and recreate in this unique biologically-diverse area.
