About This Movie
El Bastón is a deeply reflective documentary that interweaves the emotional and political struggles faced by the Indigenous Nasa community in Cauca, Colombia. What’s striking is the dual narrative; you have a mother and son, each documenting their experiences decades apart, which creates this rich tapestry of personal and collective memory. The pacing is contemplative, allowing moments of silence to resonate, making you feel the weight of their stories. The filmmakers’ intimate approach captures raw performances that feel incredibly honest. It’s not just about the visuals; it’s about the voices that carry the documentary. The themes of resilience and cultural identity are prevalent, and you really sense that they’re not just filming – they’re part of this ongoing dialogue.
