Drought

Residents from the ejido (communal land) of Los Cuates de Australia, in Northeast Mexico, perform every year a massive exodus in search of water during the drought. During this self-imposed “exile,” men, women, elders and children wait for the first drops of water which will allow them to return to Los Cuates, a land which, though dry and arid, belongs to them.
