On the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Juchitan, Oaxaca is the town of Alvaro Obregon. Here, the members of a Binniza (Zapotec) community have been under constant threat since a transnational corporation decided to install a wind farm in the sea without the consent of the community. The inhabitants resisted from the outset; they organized and created a communitarian police that controls the entrance of people into the conflict zone. Herminia and Mariano, two Zapotec fishermen, have actively lived this struggle and resistance. People of the Sea and the Wind recounts how the inhabitants perceive the wind farm and the way in which they are ready to defend their community.
