In south-central New Mexico lies Three Rivers, where the Jornada Mogollon created over 10,000 petroglyphs between AD 900 and 1400. At the nearby Trinity Site, White Sands Missile Range, the world's first atomic bomb exploded in 1945. Juxtaposing these two sites reveals a striking contrast between two worlds: one which reveres and lives in harmony with the natural world and one which manipulates the forces of nature, creating the means for its destruction. This animated film by Karen Aqua explores these opposing forces and their relationship to, and effect on, one another.
