IDENTIFYING FEATURESThis program is only available in the states of CO, CA, TX with a limited number of virtual tickets.The short film MATAGI MĀLOHI : STRONG WINDS plays before this feature.

In Mexico, trouble exists before migrants even reach the border. A mother, Magdalena, hasn’t heard from her son in months—not since he left their town to cross the border into the United States. Authorities want her to sign her son’s death certificate, but an encounter with a bereaved parent makes Magdalena realize that she cannot live without knowing his fate. She begins an odyssey through a changed country: through areas of Mexico torn apart by violence and desolation, chasing any available lead despite warnings not to seek answers. The power of a mother's love leads to a shocking revelation. Starring Mercedes Hernandez, David Illescas, and Juan Jesus Varela. In Spanish with English subtitles. This film has been generously sponsored by Mel Brody: by Denise Hawk; and by Daniela Runge and Let It Grow. ﻿<a href="https://www.elevationresort.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/e53eddbeaff597ea66e7cf65951c7fc5.jpg" width="600" style="max-width: 100%;"></a>

MATAGI MĀLOHI : STRONG WINDS ﻿The Pacific Climate Warriors, born out of the low-lying Pacific Islands, are an indigenous and youth-led movement that have been on the front lines of climate change for decades—their rally cry is “we are not drowning, we are fighting.” In their own words "Matagi Mālohi tells the story of our journey to uplift our people and shape a narrative that paints us not as victims of the climate crisis but as the leaders, the healers, the nurturers, the artists, the gardeners, the growers, the seafarers and the navigators we are."
