Synopsis
Present day Coachella Valley country clubbers prepare for their annual Pow Wow party. The backdrop for this festivity is a native American youth named Willie Boy who outran a mounted posse on foot across five hundred miles of desert one hundred years earlier. An experiment in comparative storytelling, as well as ethnographic study of the people of the Desert Empire, "Pow Wow" is a cinematic walkabout through the beauty and brutality of the Sonoran desert.
