My name is Laura Bermúdez, director of I Am Rain - Soy Lluvia, a project that has offered me a unique opportunity to explore a story of profound relevance in today’s world. Though this is not my personal story, it resonates deeply with my commitment to inclusive, decolonial, and ethically responsible filmmaking.

​

From the moment I met Geydy Wood—an art historian and member of the Miskitu community—I knew her story needed to be told on the big screen. I Am Rain goes beyond an archaeological journey; it is a search for identity, a reflection on our connection to the land, and an urgent call to protect an endangered cultural legacy.

​

Geydy, the protagonist and co-writer of the film, embodies the essence of her people and their fight to preserve Miskitu heritage in the face of environmental threats and cultural erasure. Her voice is the heart of the film, and her active involvement in every narrative decision ensures an authentic representation of her community's values.
