Director Angela Carabali’s father appeared to her in a dream, asking her to find him. Esau Carabali, an Afro Colombian farmer, was a victim of forced disappearance 30 years ago, leaving her with few memories of him and only a single photograph of the two of them together. Following his request, she and her sister embark on a mystical road trip of discovery across Colombia to the province of Cauca, a region permeated by a complex of agricultural, armed and social conflicts. The director poetically incorporates a collection of mementos such as photographs, books and recorded conversations with family members to guide her in solving a puzzle she shares with the families of more than 120,000 victims of a history of conflict and violence. In Nasa Indigenous land, Carabali and her sister learn about their father’s activism and dedication, and reveal the legacy of the man who fought for a community that continues to resist by preserving its long-standing connection to the land. Lucila Moctezuma.
