As more US states move to legalise marijuana, there has been a rush to cash in on the business. In New Mexico, a bizarre boom and bust of marijuana has become a cautionary tale. In the summer of 2020, hundreds of Chinese migrant workers struggling with job scarcity during the pandemic flocked to a remote city on the Navajo Nation Indian reservation.

Jessica Lussenhop explores the dark side of America's 'green gold rush' and its impact on the Navajo and Chinese communities.
