Shot on 8mm in the mid-1960’s, in the Chocó rainforest of Columbia, these films on Wounaan culture never circulated publicly. Recently digitized, they offer a remarkable record of a harmonious society, before it would be transformed by violence in the region, increasingly forcing Indigenous peoples to flee.
