Soul of the Desert (Spanish: Alma del desierto) is a Colombian-Brazilian documentary film, directed by Mónica Taboada-Tapia and released in 2024. The film centres on Georgina Epiayu, a transgender Wayuu woman who is struggling to navigate Colombian bureaucracy to acquire a new identity card that reflects her gender.[1]

It is an expansion of an earlier short documentary film, Two-Spirit.[1] which was nominated for the International Documentary Association and distributed online by The New Yorker.

The film premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, Giornate degli Autori where it was named the winner of the Queer Lion.[2]
