Offering an indigenous response to Narcos, Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego‘s Birds of Passage tells a drug trade origin story from the dusty deserts of La Guajira. Centered on an Wayuu family that becomes involved in the booming business of selling marijuana to Peace Corps volunteers in the 1970s, this Godfather-like flick is Colombia’s submission to the Oscars’ Best Foreign Language Film category.
