When a Navajo couple discovers their children have a disorder that makes exposure to sunlight fatal, they also learn their reservation is a hotbed for this rare genetic disease. Filmed over three years, Sun Kissed follows Dorey and Yolanda Nez as they search for answers to the mystery of XP outbreak among the Navajo population, confronting cultural taboos, tribal history and their own unconventional choices. The journey leads them to the shocking truth: their children and other Navajo children are still paying the price for the conquest and forced relocation of the tribe by the U.S. military in 1864, the Navajo "Long Walk."
