A morir a los desiertos by Marta Ferrer (2017, 90 min)

A journey to the northern Mexican semi-desert in search of the last singers of cardenche, a melancholy song genre that speaks of love and contempt, regret and tragedy. A tradition rooted in cotton farmers and miners, now on the verge of extinction. A song of survival.
