CORONA

Corona was born from a treasure kept for over two decades: unique and irreplaceable recordings of Abuelo Pacho, a Siona taita from the lower Putumayo region, captured with the intimacy that only true trust allows. Images of a man who has since passed — in ceremonies, in his home, in his village — being exactly who he was, without pretense, without distance.

But Corona is not simply a tribute to one elder. It is a living portrait of what it means to walk the path toward The Corona — the feathered headdress that caciques receive upon reaching a certain degree of spiritual development, and which in this documentary becomes a metaphor for something far deeper: the inner conquest, wisdom earned, union with the sacred.

Through the Siona, Huottuja, and Wiwa communities — three peoples, three territories, three distinct expressions of the same search — Corona seeks to build a bridge between ancestral wisdom and the contemporary viewer, without folklorizing, without exoticizing, without over-explaining. Only showing, with respect and with art.

Our goal is to bring Corona to the world’s leading film festivals — Cannes, Berlin, Tribeca, and all those in resonance with its spirit — and subsequently to high-quality distribution platforms. Because these stories deserve the biggest screens.
