Director
Clennon L. King

Directed by Clennon L. King, this poignant documentary explores the profound and often overlooked story of a Native American sacred site in New York City. The film centers on the Inwood site, a parcel of land in northern Manhattan that holds deep spiritual and historical significance for the Lenape people and other Indigenous communities. As the area faces the pressures of urban development and gentrification, a dedicated group of activists, community leaders, and spiritual guardians rise to protect it. Their motivations are rooted in a centuries-old connection to the land, which serves as a burial ground and a living testament to their heritage. The central conflict unfolds as these caretakers navigate legal battles, public awareness campaigns, and personal sacrifices to preserve the site’s integrity against commercial interests. The tone is reverent and urgent, blending archival footage with intimate interviews to create an atmospheric meditation on resilience, faith, and the fight for cultural preservation. Serving on Sacred Ground offers a compelling glimpse into a grassroots struggle that challenges viewers to reconsider what sacredness means in a modern, ever-changing world.
