The landscape of a remote stretch of plains in Coahuila, Mexico is as harsh as it is spectacular. The inhabitants of Cuates de Australia work from dawn ‘til dusk every day to eke out their survival, as their water supply dwindles and clouds drift by yielding not a drop of rain. And yet these people maintain their good cheer, with a combination of humility and acceptance. Their connection to the earth and sky seems to give them strength, and the hope for rain and new life doesn’t waver even when they have no choice but to leave their land, temporarily, in a mass exodus.
