Until The Sun Dies
a film by Jonas Brander
Until The Sun Dies tells of a condition: The beauty of life and resistance falling in a breath into death and destruction.
Whilst the international focus in recent years has been on the Colombian peace process and its implementation, violence against indigenous peoples and social movements in the country is steadily increasing.
Until the Sun Dies follows two of the country's most important resistance figures: Albeiro Camayo, an indigenous leader, and Luz Marina Bernal, a mother who is fighting for over a decade for justice in the extrajudicial killing of her son and thousands of civilians by the Colombian military.
After the murder of her son, Luz Marina transformed herself from a housewife to one of the most important human rights activists in the country, resisting and denouncing through art and theatre in legal and political struggles. Albeiro is the coordinator of the “Guardia Indigena”, an unarmed self-defence unit of the Nasa tribe, which has been caught in the crossfire of conflict between guerrilla and paramilitary groups, multinational corporations, and state repression.
