With its simple and authentic character, this observation work is one of the first products designed for the big screen format of the APPELLATION OF ORIGIN COLOMBIAN PACIFIC transmedia and is part of Guapi Expedition, the second season of the Expeditions format. Buenaventura Expedition, the first season of the format, is available on our website for free.
The Africa World Film Festival AWDFF, which celebrates its fourteenth itinerant version in San Diego, California, is part of the circuit of the most important festivals for documentaries and the African diaspora.

More than 250 years have passed since the arrival of the African ancestors to the Pacific territory, where the cultural influence remains visible in the territories of their descendants and this product reflects part of that legacy. This is a more than appropriate and desired start to the festival circuit for Genaro, the legacy of the great Marimbero-
