Kaugsankamalla: mientras vivamos (2026)

When the fight is no longer mine to wage, will you take up the cause? Co-directed and captured intimately by Soraida, this documentary traces the daily rhythms and fierce activism of Soraida Chindoy, an Inga leader standing guard over her people’s sacred highlands against a Canadian mining giant in Colombia. Juggling the weight of motherhood with the call to organize, her life as an Inga woman and protector of the land is a testament to endurance, duty, and a deep-rooted loyalty to her kin and their ancestral ground. As environmental perils escalate, her voice grows sharper—and her disillusionment with global bystanders cuts deeper. ‘Kaugsankamalla: As long as we live’ delivers an unflinching, soul-stirring look at Indigenous defiance amid the erosion of nature and heritage. Through her own lens, her words, and the wisdom carried in her body, we glimpse what it truly means to battle for tomorrow—not merely for one people, but for the shared earth we all call home.
