Argentina 2023 – 13 min – Director: Gastón Zilberman, Michael Salama – Language: Quechua, Spanish; Castilian – Subtiles: German

The poignant narrative unfolds around the Uru community of Lake Poopó, Bolivia. Once in harmony with the ancient waters of their beloved lake, the Urus' lives were disrupted by climate change-induced droughts and industrial contamination, causing the disappearance of Lake Poopó in 2016. The film captures the community's resilience as they adapt to a new reality. From floating houses to artisan crafts, their journey reflects strength in the face of adversity.
