"Ozogoche" is a film that explores the daily life of Feliciano, an elder of the Kichwa indigenous people, and his granddaughter, Sisa. As they await the arrival of the "Cuvivís", migratory birds from North America known for their ritual of collective suicide in the lakes of Ozogoche, the film draws a stark contrast with the migration patterns of the local indigenous community, who, due to a lack of opportunities and the harsh impact of climate change, are driven to leave their homes and migrate to the United States in search of a better future.
The film serves as a call to action, emphasizing the need to support the Ozogoche community by raising funds to foster educational and sustainable tourism initiatives that preserve their unique culture while providing new economic opportunities.
