ABOUT THE FILM

THE WIND'S THIRST
Alejandro Valbuena / Canada, Colombia / 2026 / 86’

In the wind-scoured desert of La Guajira, where rivers vanish, and machines roar with an insatiable hunger, three Wayuu guardians stand against a siege disguised as progress. Tita, keeper of ancestral land, sees the trap woven in the wind companies’ promises. Misael fights for the Bruno River, now a ghost, guided by dreams that speak in water and warning. Jazmine, fierce with grief, battles for Wayuu women, for stolen futures, for the right to exist. Their struggle is survival, their defiance a promise to the land - they will not disappear.
