La danza del cocuy

2019 · 60 min · Documentary

Moncha, a cocuy artisan, and Miriam, a notable scientist specializing in botany, undertake a long struggle to legalize the cocuy. The cocuy is an ancestral spirit drink obtained from the agave, the “miracle plant”. This drink was banned in the 50s, which meant decades of criminalization of a people and their traditions. The two women will face large corporations and will manage to transcend the history of a country that is beginning to recognize its cultural value.
