Nuestra voz de tierra, memoria y futuro

Directed by Marta Rodríguez, Jorge Silva

Our take

Recently restored, Marta Rodríguez and Jorge Silva’s mystical first feature allies political force with aesthetic beauty. Cherishing the imperiled land and rituals of an indigenous people in Colombia, the couple’s rousing poetic documentary traces how history is made and cultures are kept alive.
