Wakani
David Herrera / 2025 / 70 min.
Adriana Samboní, an indigenous Yanacona woman from Putumayo and advocate of traditional medicine, begins to experience visions after increasing her consumption of Yagé, a sacred plant with hallucinogenic effects. Convinced that these experiences contain a transcendental message, Adriana reflects on her life, her community and the challenges of keeping ancestral traditions alive in a changing world. As the visions confront her with her own fears and hopes, they attempt to define her purpose in life.
At the end of the screening, a conversation will take place with the film’s director, David Herrera.
