Synopsis
Meanders is a visual and narrative journey along the Guaviare, a social and cultural mosaic, a stage on which the armed conflict and the drug trade unfold, revealing the perception of the indigenous and farming communities residing in the COn Amazon regarding their own territory. Through a myriad of characters, the faces, the stories, the trails, the rivers that make the human context of the region tangible are discovered. Opposing the media’s narrative, which doesn’t recognize the communities’ perception on their own lands, during this odyssey the people and the images reveal the logic of the war, the logic of illegality and the cultural thinking of the communities that live in the Guaviare.
