Pyramid Lake Is Dying

In Pyramid Lake Is Dying, John Pilger highlights the severe decline of Pyramid Lake, a once pristine natural wonder that is now drying up. The documentary focuses on the Paiute peoples, who face threats to both their natural resources and their cultural identity due to the actions of white settlers. Pilger's film serves as an important exploration of the consequences of colonialism on indigenous communities.

This documentary is the second installment in John Pilger's three-part series made in 1976. It provides a critical look at environmental issues and cultural erasure, making it a significant piece for those interested in social justice and indigenous rights. Collectors of documentary films or those focused on Native American histories will find value in this work, as it presents a compelling narrative of loss and resilience.
