trenzando el pensamiento de Shur Abelino Dogua. José Antonio Dorado Zúñiga. Colombia. 2022.(26 min) Q&A with filmmaker José Antonio Dorado Z.

Synopsis:
Portrait of taita Abelino Dagua (1926-2015) made within the framework of the Ethnic Intercultural Audiovisual Laboratory, with a group of indigenous peasants, students of Ala Kusreik Ya Misak University of the Indigenous
Council of Wampía (Colombia). For the Misak the dead never die but instead travel to the kansrɵ, a world parallel to everyday life from which they return through dreams to advise their loved ones. The documentary invokes and recreates the presence, memory, and some of the teachings of shur Abelino from the kansrɵ, using interviews that one of the students recorded while he was alive, but also using staging and interviews that the students themselves recorded with their cell phones in sacred places to pay homage to one of the most notable Guambiano intellectuals, who assumed his own research from Misak thought, to strengthen the resistance and indigenous struggle for the conservation of the territory, language and culture of the Misak people.
