“This digital restoration honours an important work of Latin American political cinema, one that doesn’t posit indigenous culture in romantic contrast to modernity, but rather recognizes in it an aesthetic of resistance” (Tobias Hering). Nearly 90 and still at work, the Colombian anthropological filmmaker Marta Rodriguez, together with her late husband Jorge Silva, a photographer and cameraman, collaborated on a series of documentaries observing the centuries-old oppression, back-breaking labor, and fiercely preserved language and culture of the farmers and indigenous peoples of the Cauca region in Colombia’s Andean Cordilleras.
