A radical examination of Monument Valley’s representation in cinema and advertising since John Ford’s <Stagecoach> (1939), <The Taking> scrutinizes how a site located on sovereign Navajo land came to embody the fantasy of the “Old West,” and why it continues to hold mythic significance in the global psyche.
