In Northern New Mexico a range of mountains rises up from the high desert: a wild, rugged land of the Faraway Nearby. The volcanic Jemez Mountains are isolated from all other ranges an island in the sky, surrounded by a desert sea. In Sky Island, filmmaker John Grabowska profiles this enchanting landscape and our place within it. Narrated by Meryl Streep and N. Scott Momaday, Music by Todd Boekelheide.
