Synopsis
Rafael Caicedo is a filmmaker from Chocó who, in the process of creating and producing the web series Quibdó Baila and running his YouTube channel Esta Es Mi Historia, always brings together the energy of many people, most of them young. This documentary offers a behind-the-scenes look at how musicians, dancers, and non-professional actors join forces to transform the negative image of their territory. With courage, they confront the threats that have long loomed over Colombia’s Pacific region.
