Walkers of time

About This Movie

Walkers of Time is a fascinating documentary that captures the essence of the Amorúa people through the eyes of María, a young girl navigating her identity in a world that often overlooks her culture. The film's tone is reflective, almost poetic, as it paints a vivid picture of life along the Colombia-Venezuela border. You feel the weight of tradition and the pressure of modernity pulling at María and her family, particularly her grandmother Matilde, who embodies the struggle to preserve their heritage. There's a raw authenticity to the performances, especially from the non-professional actors. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to immerse yourself in their daily lives and rituals, making it a distinctive exploration of indigenous life and resilience.
