2023 | B/N | 70:00 Colonialism wiped out many Central and South American cultures—but not the Gunadule, the indigenous people of northern Panama. In 1925, they successfully resisted the repression of their culture by the Panamanian government. Over three days of fighting, they won their autonomy and thus saved their way of life. Known as the Dule Revolution, the glorious battle is commemorated each year with a reenactment involving hundreds of participants, including many children. The film convincingly shows the power of this community theater in maintaining a unique collective identity with a strong emphasis on cooperation.
