Chile/Spain, Documentary, 2008
54 min, DV CAM, Color
Portuguese with English subtitles
Descendants of slaves who found their freedom in the Brazilian Amazonia formed the Guajará community more than 200 years ago. Ever since then, the inhabitants have been relatively isolated from all urban contact and its progress, thus maintaining a way of life linked to their ancestors and fed with a series of myths about spirits and incarnations of evil. The sandpit near the community is a place where spirits talk and coexist with the inhabitants of Guajar¡. Yet, the construction of a bridge, which shall join the community with the city, will compromise the sandpit and will also bring a change in their vision, existence and nature. This documentary was the winner of the Special Jury Award at FIDOCS 2008.
