The film asks the viewer to think about the interrelatedness of world ecosystems and the necessity of their protection.
Best Director
Jury: It’s an exciting visual story about the nomads in Mexico that invite the viewers to travel with them. The survival of different species is at stake everywhere in the world. The film’s educational message has been done with a masterful selection and a big heart. The film is also special because the mainly Mexican crew cares deeply for the land they inhabit.
