Synopsis

Jorge's Children tracks the path of filmmaker Jorge Prelorán, a trailblazer in ethnographic cinema and the creator of ethnobiography. The film delves into his legacy through the reminiscences of characters from his works alongside filmmakers, historians, and relatives. The narrative unfolds as an adventure - partly planned, partly serendipitous - leading through towns and regions to pursue the final witnesses and survivors previously captured by the iconic filmmaker. It delves into Prelorán's triumphs, setbacks, industry opportunities, and the Eurocentric lens prevalent in America. At its core, the film grants a renewed voice to those individuals and communities that Prelorán once gave a platform, echoing his commitment to amplifying the voices of the voiceless. The film's producer is actively seeking financial support to complete this film.
