In early 2024, after nearly 40 years of effort from local translators, the full Bible was translated into the Achi language - in partnership the Bible translation alliance, Illuminations. To mark the completion of this monumental effort, the Cloudfire Film team traveled with author/speaker Sadie Robertson to ceremonially deliver the first copy of this translation to the Achi people.

This doc-style video tells two stories: connecting the micro-narrative of Sadie’s Scripture delivery journey to the macro-narrative of global Bible translation efforts. After developing the concept/script with Future City Now and Jason Dyba, the Cloudfire team spent 72 hours shooting in Guatemala, and delivered a quick-turnaround edit that premiered at IF> Gathering 2024.

Within 15 minutes of 15 minutes of the video premiering, 1.5 million dollars was raised for Illuminations.
