Synopsis

Through the eyes of prominent Indigenous youth, their families, and communities, the documentary addresses the tragic events that unfolded during the rubber boom of the early 20th century in the Putumayo region. In this context, nearly 30,000 Indigenous people from the Huitoto, Murui, Bora, Ocaina, Tikuna, and Andoque communities lost their lives after being enslaved and tortured by rubber barons. One hundred years later, these young artists and leaders have taken on the challenge of rebuilding their cultures and their historical understanding, developing a communal, poetic, and healing vision for the future with local, national, and global reach.
