Negra

An Afro-Colombian community leader is threatened and forced into exile in Mexico, where she rebuilds her life while keeping her fight alive.

During colonial times, Nyanga was kidnapped from the coasts of Africa, brought to Mexico and enslaved. Even though he was forced to work at another man’s estate, he never stopped dreaming of freedom. Based on historical events and using shadow play techniques, “Nyanga” is an homage to the many resistances against the shackles of colonialism.
