Three Women, one Catamaran and the Atlantic Ocean
We are so honored to present the world premiere documentary screening of ‘Women & the Wind’ at @bajajoeslv at 7pm this Thursday, here in our windy village of La Ventana, BCS, MX.

Women & the Wind is a project aimed at igniting the flames of curiosity and adventure which lay dormant within so many of us, by deepening our understanding of the synergy between nature and humanity—and by doing so radically. This project is led by a group of women and realized through a voyage across the North Atlantic on Mara Noka, a 50-year-old wooden catamaran.

The trans-Atlantic voyage was captured through the eyes and lens of filmmaker Alize Jireh. Throughout 30 days of calms, storms, setbacks, and unimaginable scenery, Alize’s camera kept rolling. Now with over 100 hours of footage, it is time to bring the full-length documentary to life. The aesthetic of the film will provoke a deep emotional reaction, as the viewer is presented with the intensity of the voyage, and the ocean. The ever-changing state of the sea, in all its splendour, and duality—shifting between gentleness and rage—reflects our own humanity and opens us to contemplation on our relationship with the most unknown parts of ourselves and the planet.
