Call of the Heart

Directed by Harun Güler

“When you go to dig your fields or make a pot from clay, you are disturbing the balance of things. When you walk, you are moving the air, breathing it in and out. Therefore you must make payments.” —The Arhuacos The Arhuaco are the indigenous people of Colombia who have resided in the secluded mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta since the arrival of Spanish colonialists, the high plateaus proved to be a place of escape over the centuries. Deeply spiritual, the Arhuaco believe that the Sierra Nevada is the heart of the world; and if the heart is sick, the whole body will eventually die.
