La Tierra de las Aves is a documentary short film that portrays the lifestyle and experience of Maria Nelly Medina, a 58 year-old birder who found her passion for the world of birds after already making a living out of her career. Maria Nelly’s life is transformed after she decides to immerse herself in the activity of bird watching. This documentary seeks to narrate the stories and experiences of this character, how her life changes and revolves around nature and her perspective of how Colombians should inform themselves to preserve the diversity that characterizes its country. This is a story very close to my heart; it's the tale of my aunt, and I wanted to find the best way to portray her passionate pursuits. I teamed up with Sofia, and together, we co-directed what has become this documentary. Our aim is not only to showcase the activity that she loves but also to capture the inherent beauty of Colombia.
