00:00:28.580 --> 00:00:29.980
You

2
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.320
You

3
00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:14.080
You

4
00:01:14.080 --> 00:01:14.740
1538

5
00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:22.040
The women and the men of the Chibcha Nation hear the sounds of three armies slashing their way through their sacred mountains

6
00:01:23.620 --> 00:01:25.680
The armies take possession of the land

7
00:01:27.020 --> 00:01:35.360
They believe that in that land sheets of gold hang like fruits from the trees and precious stones and metal emanate their radiance from the depths of the waters

8
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.900
The Chibcha Nation, records the historian, was destined to enter history as extinct people

9
00:01:55.900 --> 00:02:04.420
The Chibcha Nation, records the historian, was destined to enter history as extinct people

10
00:02:04.420 --> 00:02:16.600
The Chibcha Nation, records the historian, was destined to enter history as extinct people

11
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:32.580
The Chibcha Nation, records the historian, was destined to enter history as extinct people

12
00:02:32.580 --> 00:02:33.540
1562

13
00:02:35.040 --> 00:02:40.060
A merchant gets permission from the Spanish crown to drain the waters of Guadalupe

14
00:02:41.480 --> 00:02:45.060
He takes with him as many Indians as he needs

15
00:02:45.920 --> 00:02:50.220
To prevent them from dying in the icy cold he keeps them drunk

16
00:02:51.060 --> 00:02:53.720
The mountain is cut

17
00:02:53.720 --> 00:02:56.280
Very few pieces of gold are found

18
00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:58.720
The dead bodies disappear

19
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:07.100
Only the mountain saves the memory

20
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:10.760
1965

21
00:03:12.040 --> 00:03:13.720
An old entrepreneur is interviewed

22
00:03:14.940 --> 00:03:21.140
He is convinced, like many others before him, that the treasures of El Dorado must be at the bottom of the lake

23
00:03:21.820 --> 00:03:26.440
The Wall Street Journal makes the news and a group of divers from Florida arrive

24
00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:50.520
The Chibcha Nation, records the historian, was destined to enter history as extinct people

25
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.440
Summer of 1994

26
00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:59.760
The Chibcha Nation, records the historian, was destined to enter history as extinct people

27
00:03:59.760 --> 00:03:59.760


28
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.940
Where people are drowning their sorrows

29
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:18.160
Escaping from the reality that drowns them

30
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.680
August, 1994

31
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:29.840
An August afternoon

32
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:34.980
A view that defies the conventional order of representation

33
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:41.100
Nothing appears to indicate the violent confrontations of the times

34
00:04:41.940 --> 00:04:45.480
Only the camera recording the silence of a war zone

35
00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:55.480
It is the silence that remembers the horrid presence of the death squads and the slow migrations of people surviving systematic extermination

36
00:05:03.260 --> 00:05:07.500
In Bogota the terrorists, or who knows who, bombed my house

37
00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:11.400
I screamed and prayed to the Virgin, please save my home

38
00:05:21.060 --> 00:05:23.360
I took the children from under the rubbish

39
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.760
My son put his hand like this

40
00:05:26.380 --> 00:05:28.240
But nobody was hurt

41
00:05:30.260 --> 00:05:34.320
My faith is unbreakable

42
00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:57.400
We need help, the guerrillas are coming into our houses

43
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:04.220
This is a valley of blood, the violence, the corruption, everything

44
00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:07.640
How can we continue such a terrible war?

45
00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:14.220
It coincides with other stories

46
00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:15.460
Body, blood, and blood

47
00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:15.460


48
00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:17.240
Bodies are found in mass graves

49
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:21.800
The bodies show signs of torture and many cannot be identified

50
00:06:22.460 --> 00:06:25.420
Someone protests and at night they take her away

51
00:06:25.420 --> 00:06:26.540
And her children

52
00:06:27.460 --> 00:06:28.780
Who tortures?

53
00:06:29.880 --> 00:06:30.860
Who murders?

54
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.540
Who survives?

55
00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:04.260
Who succeeds in ignoring the devastating impact of the colonial adventure?

56
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:06.080
Who benefits?

57
00:08:08.640 --> 00:08:12.100
At the beginning there was the sea

58
00:08:13.580 --> 00:08:15.380
Everything was dark

59
00:08:15.380 --> 00:08:15.440
The sea was the only source of life

60
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:15.440


61
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:15.440


62
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:15.440


63
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:15.440


64
00:08:16.740 --> 00:08:26.220
There was no sun, no moon, no people, no animals, no plants

65
00:08:27.420 --> 00:08:29.840
The sea was everywhere

66
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.440
The sea was the mother

67
00:08:35.020 --> 00:08:37.980
The mother wasn't the people or anything

68
00:08:37.980 --> 00:08:42.180
She was the spirit of what was about to come

69
00:08:42.180 --> 00:08:46.560
She was thought and memory
