Lummis' genius and idiosyncratic personality captured the ethos of an era and a region. The documentary will give viewers an in-depth look at his fascinating life through the eyes of key historians and experts including William Deverell (Director of the Huntington-USC Institute on California and the West), William Estrada (Curator of California and American History and Chair of History Department for the Natural History Museum), Liza Posas (Head Librarian, Braun Research Library / Archivist, Autry Museum of the American West), and Lummis' granddaughter, Suzanne Lummis (Southern California poet/writer, arts organizer and educator).
