This short film was made to spotlight the indigenous Pemón Chief Juvencio Gómez and his family who have been forced to migrate from their ancestral homelands due to invasive mining projects. This portrait uniquely reflects on stories of the Venezuelan Kumarakapay people and their rapidly changing culture.
Due to Juvencio's exile from his homeland, this was filmed in the Roraima region of Northern Brazil (near the border of Venezuela). This is also the only known film to be recorded and presented entirely in the indigenous Pemón language of Taurepang.
