A documentary on the road that tracks the journey by Georgina, an elderly transgender woman forced to cross the sandy peninsula Guajira, on foot, to obtain the thing she has desired for almost half a century: a document that will hand her the right to be what she has always felt she was, and will allow her, at long last, to vote.

Wiki.
Soul of the Desert (Spanish: Alma del desierto) is a Colombian-Brazilian documentary film, directed by Mónica Taboada-Tapia and released in 2024. The film centres on Georgina Epiayu, a transgender Wayuu woman who is struggling to navigate Colombian bureaucracy to acquire a new identity card that reflects her gender.
It is an expansion of an earlier short documentary film, Two-Spirit, which was nominated for the International Documentary Association and distributed online by The New Yorker.
The film premiered in the Giornate degli Autori program at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it was named the winner of the Queer Lion.
