1h 22m
Based on an ancient legend and guided by the millenary song of the humpback whale, Choibá: The Dance of the Humpback Whale tells the story of a group of documentary filmmakers who decide to learn from the great journey of this cetacean, following its sacred migration from the coasts of the Colombian Pacific to the cold waters of Antarctica.
These filmmakers are called by a higher force, the very spirit of the whale embodied in the body of a woman who dives alongside these mammals to impart the knowledge of the seas and their connection to the natural world.
The experience in the Pacific Ocean marks the history of this group of filmmakers, who discover the greatness that resides within each of them in the deep blue, prompting them to share this story with humanity.
A sensory, auditory, and visual journey that allows the viewer to enter a state of meditation and awareness, enabling them to reach their own conclusions about the importance of protecting and conserving the seas and all the living beings that inhabit them.
A walker of jungles and mountains with more than 20 years of experience. A lover of photography and storytelling. Co-founder of Canoa Films Diana Dudek is a film production company with over 10 years of experience in projects focused on environmental conservation and narratives rooted in our indigenous cultures, heritage that forms part of our values and our quest to revive ancestral knowledge.
