Synopsis

This documentary aims to explore how high-speed video technology is used by Yekwana children in the Venezuelan Amazon. It also seeks to discover what they film and why. What topics interest them? How do they integrate and use these technologies, which are so distant from their reality? Do the remote communities they live in appear in their films? How does this new form of memory assist their communities? And, in general, how does the Yekwana people use these tools of current technological development without losing their cultural identity?
