Viva Yurumanguí: Filmvorführung & Live-Gespräch

On June 25 at 7:00 p.m., the Filmkultur Support Association, in cooperation with the Bonn Center for Dependency & Slavery Studies, will present the documentary “Viva Yurumanguí”—in its original version with English subtitles.

On Colombia’s remote Pacific coast, the Yurumanguí Palenque community continues to fight for its freedom, following in the footsteps of their ancestors who fled slavery. Today, their territory is threatened by armed groups and environmental destruction, which endanger the community and its traditions. This makes their participation in the largest festival of Afro-Colombian music all the more significant: there, they showcase their traditions, defend their territory, and remind the outside world that they still exist.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion at the cinema with directors Emma Christopher and Sergio Leyva Seiglie, as well as the leader of Yurumanguí (online).

Snacks and drinks will be served before the screening. Afterward, there will also be a public viewing of the World Cup at the Brotfabrik.
Free admission to the reception; movie tickets sold separately
