Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Philippe spent 47 days shooting in Monument Valley, often sleeping in his car to capture specific light conditions. The film contains zero archival interviews.
The title references both 'The Searchers' and the Navajo Long Walk of 1864—a deliberate linguistic collision Philipps refuses to explain in-film.
