    Desc: Ndatu Savi - La Suerte del Agua: Directed by Ignacio Decerega, Cristóbal Jasso. With Ricardo Gazga, Flavio Cruz León, Juana López Sánchez, Felipe García Hernandez. Our film looks at Soco Tañu U (the Ocean's Limb in Mixtec language), the fate of water running in two rivers (Rio Verde, Rio La Arena) and a sacred saltwater lagoon system (Alotengo). Climate change, water scarcity and drought pit against each other not just groups of people but different world views. For indigenous Mixtec communities upstream, the fate of water is in the hands of gods and rain goddesses that dwell in caves and mountains. For mestizo farmers and population in urban centers, everything revolves around water scarcity and pollution. For Afro Mexican fishermen downstream, the crucial issue is the abundance of fish and the complex relationship between river runoff and ocean saltwater. Our story attempts to give a voice and a measure of dignity to these differing world views.
