In 1990, British filmmaker Alan Ereira
made a film, about the Kogi tribe of Sierra Nevada. Hidden on
an isolated triangular pyramid mountain in Colombia, the tribe had reluctantly
been drawn into the modern world, to warn about the detrimental effects
of mining and deforestation. Twenty years on, and they have re-emerged, and their message is even more
urgent: we are destroying the earth. The
Kogi believe that they live in order to care for the world. By connecting with
'aluna', a cosmic consciousness, they keep its natural order
functioning. Profoundly frightened by what we are doing to their sacred earth, the Kogi
are determined to guide us out of darkness. With Ereira as cultural
go-between, and 400km of gold thread, they take us deep into their world on a stunning, thought-provoking
journey.
