Ashkan Soltani Stone and Natale Zappia (@natzappia) wrote a killer little book based on a killer documentary called Rez Metal: Inside the Navajo Nation Heavy Metal Scene (University of Nebraska Press).
I mean, you know I was into this, right, CNFers?
In this episode we talk about:
- How they came to know each other
- The collaborative process
- Staying out of the way of the story
- How food and music bind us together
- And the tenderness you find in the heavy metal scene
Proceeds from the film support the Native American Music Fund.
