A commitment to audiovisual sovereignty and the decolonization of the Gunadule people's history.
- Between 1698 and 1702, a Scottish expedition attempted to colonize the Gunadule territory in Darién.
- For centuries, this history has been narrated by outsiders, systematically erasing the voice and resistance of our people.
- In European museums, indigenous presence is reduced to a footnote.
- Suggunya is born to reclaim the right to tell our own version of the past.
Your contribution strengthens our journey and allows us to move forward with:
- Territorial research: Journeys of deep listening and cocreation with grandmothers, grandfathers, and Saglas in the Guna Yala Comarca.
- Historical research: Deep archival work in Edinburgh, Panama, and Colombia.
- Creative development: Production of the pilot sequence and securing historical archival rights.
This endorsement guarantees our allies that:
- The work is built upon deep respect and communal cocreation.
- The project contributes to strengthening the role of Guna women in communication and the transmission of knowledge.
- The film addresses our historical episode in direct dialogue with our elders and the living memory of the community.
A production by
Suggunya is a collective effort that transcends borders. If you represent an academic or cultural institution, or a production company, and want to support Indigenous cinema and audiovisual sovereignty, we invite you to be a part of this weave.
