ALUNA is a documentary that revisits the Kogi in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta in present day Colombia. From here, the Kogi reiterate the waring sent to the "civilized" world in the 1990 BBC documentary From The Heart of the World; Elder Brother's Warning, where they urge the modernized world to "listen and stop causing damage or nature herself will finish us off". Now, their wisest travels to England and begin a journey to raise awareness of the key concepts in Indigenous knowledge that may help us avert further ecological catastrophes.
