    Synopsis

    UNTIL THE SUN DIES unfolds its stories over co-incidences of the contrary: life born from death, and death from the pursuit of peace and justice. 
    Two stories, told side-by-side on simultaneous struggles, woven together into a universal portrait of courage. In one thread, we follow Nobel Peace Prize nominee Luz Marina, a mother seeking justice after the extrajudicial killing of her son. In the other thread, we follow the Nasa indigenous leader Albeiro as he defends his territory against armed groups and multinational companies.
