Moroni for President

The documentary follows Moroni Benally, a young, gay, Mormon, and highly educated candidate, as he campaigns for the presidency of the Navajo Nation. His journey is not just about politics but also about personal discovery and confronting the expectations of his community. The film provides an intimate look at his homecoming and the complexities of his identity.

As the largest Native American nation in the U.S., the Navajo Nation serves as a significant backdrop for the film. Benally's candidacy challenges the traditional political establishment and reflects broader themes of representation and change within indigenous communities. This documentary is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to belong and to lead.
