MISSION DRIFT
Mission Drift is a pioneering journey west and east across the USA in search of an unbiased portrait of American Capitalism, told through atomic blasts, lizard ballet and people with bank accounts. Featuring music composed by Heather Christian, and created by the TEAM in the blazing heat of a Las Vegas June, Mission Drift is the newest work-in-progress from this award winning ensemble.
