Our take
Conceived to help sisters Ati and Mindhiwa get into college, this inspiring documentary is imbued with the spirit of resilience. As well as succeeding in its original goal, Claudia Fischer’s beautiful film offers a unique window into the lives of the Arhuaco, an Indigenous people of Colombia.
