Luckily for them, the Joshua Tree desert is filled with lots of interesting and eccentric locals who are more than happy to help Troy and the band get inspired.Desert Hīkoi isn't just a music documentary; it's the journey of a group of artists finding their richest vein of creativity, whilst going deep within and learning about themselves.
