Preceded by the short film: GREEN FEVER
In the wind-scoured desert of La Guajira, where rivers dry, and machines tear open the land, three Wayuu guardians rise against a siege disguised as progress. Tita, a young elder rooted in ancestral wisdom, sees wind-energy giants arrive with smooth promises masking the same old theft—land stripped, voices muted, communities fractured. Misael lives on the edge of a wound, the coal mine that devours rivers and poisons the air, yet he stays and fights, guided by dreams where the Bruno River still flows. Jazmine’s war is political and intimate, a voice for Wayuu women against corruption and patriarchal chains; when her sister is taken too soon, grief turns to fire. The Wind’s Thirst is a story of defiance, of a people who refuse to disappear, because for the Wayuu, to resist is to remember, and remembering is survival.
