Filmed on location at the San José del Pacífico sierra in Oaxaca, Tierra addresses, through an experimental aproach, issues such as the destruction of territory and its transformation, gender identities, ecofeminism, feminist struggles, the defense of seeds and identity within the maps and geographies of Latin America.

Simón Mejía, of the Colombian electronic music sensation Bomba Estéreo, will travel from Afro-Colombian communities on the coast to indigenous communities in the mountains to learn about the Pacific Rainforest project that connects them. Recording sounds along the way, Simon expresses the power of the experience the way he does best – through music!
