Moses on the Mesa is a short fiction film that focuses on a few episodes in the real-life tale of Solomon Bibo, a Jewish immigrant who left Germany in 1869 while still a teenager to seek out his fortune in America.

Through incredible twists of fate, he became governor of the indigenous tribe of Acoma, whose ancient pueblo (named “Sky City”) sits atop a beautiful and unassailable cliff in the middle of a New Mexico desert.

Solomon became known to the Indians as “Don Solomono” and married the granddaughter of the tribe’s former governor.
