About This Movie

Úahat is a documentary that really pulls you into the struggles of the Wichi and Weenhayek communities across Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The film opens with a roadblock—such a raw, visceral moment that sets the tone for what’s to come. It’s not just about the protests; it digs deeper into the environmental and cultural ramifications of losing fish in the Pilcomayo River, which is more than a waterway—it's life. The pacing feels organic, shifting between personal stories and broader themes of resistance and identity. It’s less about polished narratives and more about real voices, real struggles. There's a certain intimacy in the way it captures their journey, making it a distinctive piece that resonates in a different way.
