According to Variety, distributor Cineplex has acquired the Colombian and Latin American rights to the Indigenous eco-thriller ‘The Cry of Serankwa’ (El grito de Serankwa). The film, the sophomore feature from Colombian director Yull Nuñez, won three industry prizes at the Santiago Film Festival (Sanfic) in the WIP Iberoamericana section. The drama centers on two friends from the Indigenous Iku tribe: one who strives to become a spiritual leader to protect the land from mining destruction, and another who returns to the village as an engineer for a mining firm. Nuñez, who has deep ties to the community, filmed for 40 days in the remote village of Nabuzimake. Much of the film is spoken in the Iku language, offering an immersive look at the community's ancestral worldview and their struggle against modern environmental threats.
