Screening of the documentary “Udimar Hué” at MAPI

Documentary directed by Nicolás Soto and starring Tania Torterola

In honor of the Day of the Charrúa Nation and Indigenous Identity, there will be a special screening of the documentary “Udimar Hué”, directed by Nicolás Soto and starring Tania Torterola. This screening promises to offer a profound and moving look at Uruguay’s current situation and at the worst water crisis in its history.

The documentary’s synopsis immerses us in a challenging setting, where rivers show their cracked beds and the population struggles to access drinking water. Amid this devastation, the main character, Raisa, embarks on a spiritual quest at the top of a hill, where she searches for answers between pain and despair. It is there that she meets her ancestors and receives a transcendental mission: to return the body of the river to its home.

“Udimar Hué” not only offers a powerful narrative about the connection between humanity and nature, but also sheds light on the importance of preserving Indigenous identity and honoring ancestral traditions in times of environmental crisis. The film promises to be a moving and thought-provoking experience for all viewers.

The screening of the documentary is a unique opportunity to reflect on the relationship between human beings and their natural environment, as well as to celebrate and honor the rich cultural heritage of the Charrúa Nation and of all the Indigenous peoples of Uruguay.
