Hole in the Mountain – Saving Conglomerate Mesa

Watch a powerful new documentary about Conglomerate Mesa, a stunning stretch of
BLM-managed land in the Eastern Sierra. Directed by Chris Kam and narrated by Emmy-winning actor Peter Coyote.

This wild landscape is home to raptors, mule deer, rare plants, and a vital refugia for Joshua
Trees. It’s also sacred to Indigenous communities from Payahuunadü, who continue to hunt, gather pinyon nuts, and walk their ancestral lands.

And now, once again, it’s under threat.
