From the Oscar-nominated team behind the genre-defying Embrace of the Serpent, comes an equally audacious saga centered on the Wayúu indigenous people during a crucial period in recent Colombian history. Torn between his desire to become a powerful man and his duty to uphold his culture’s values, Rapayet enters the drug trafficking business in the 1970s and finds quick success despite the tribal matriarch’s disapproval. A sprawling epic about the erosion of tradition in pursuit of material wealth, Birds of Passage is a visually striking exploration of loyalty, greed and the voracious nature of change. This film was Colombia’s official submission for the 2019 foreign language Oscar nominations.
In Spanish, Wayúu and Wiwa with English subtitles.
Doors 6:30pm. Show 7:30pm. Runtime 125 mins. Tickets $6.
