CGiii Comment
Soul of the Desert is a documentary on the road that tracks the journey of Georgina, an elderly transgender woman forced to cross the sandy and arid Colombian peninsula of La Guajira on foot to obtain something she has desired for almost half a century: a document that will grant her the right to be what she has always felt she was and, at long last, allow her to vote. Amid open wounds, memories, and unfathomable geographical and emotional distances, Georgina and her people agree that enough is enough. Ultimately, Taboada Tapia’s debut documentary feature emerges as a story of resilience, a symbol of hope, and a fervent struggle for justice.
