“If I can no longer fight, will you?” Filmed and co-directed by Soraida, this intimate portrait spans the everyday life and activism of Soraida Chindoy, following her journey as an Inga leader defending her community’s sacred mountains from a Canadian mining company in Colombia.

As environmental threats intensify, her demands become more urgent — and her disappointment with the international community more profound. ‘Kaugsankamalla: As long as we live’ offers a deeply personal and politically resonant portrait of Indigenous resistance in the face of ecological and cultural loss. Through Soraida’s voice, her images, and her embodied wisdom, we are offered a window into the lived experience of fighting for a future — not just for one community, but for the planet we all share.
