Orquídea
As one of the oldest flowering plant, Orchid is an all knower of history. They have witnessed Amazonia transform for over a 100 million years, from before humans to the birth of its indigenous peoples to the establishment of Colombia’s Republic and its habitual wars. They are also Colombia’s national flower.
Meet a diverse group of unlikely orchid conservationists remaking their lives within a precarious peace process: a group of guerilla ex-combatants who fight to protect the forest where orchids thrive, Indigenous elders who retell origin myths about the emergence of humans and orchids in jungles they safeguard, and biologists who study the capacity of orchid bees to reproduce a diversity of blooms that survive the test of time.
Can healing germinate in the shadows of war? With stunning cinematography, we experience a poetic reflection on nature, power, and the passage of time.
