Pada tahun 1975 pembuat film dokumenter pemenang Oscar Prancis Pierre Dominique Gaisseau melakukan perjalanan ke Panama untuk membuat film di Kuna People yang tinggal di pulau asli. Didampingi oleh istri dan putrinya, Gaisseau tinggal bersama Kuna selama setahun, mendapatkan kepercayaan mereka dan merekam upacara paling intim mereka. Dia berjanji untuk berbagi film yang dihasilkan dengan komunitas, tetapi itu tidak pernah terjadi. Lima puluh tahun kemudian, Kunas masih menunggu untuk menemukan film "mereka", sekarang menjadi legenda yang diturunkan dari para penatua ke generasi baru. Suatu hari, salinan tersembunyi ditemukan di Paris ... sambil mengungkap kisah yang menarik ini dengan kerendahan hati dan kehangatan, pembuat film Swiss-Panamanian Andrés Peyrot berhasil menangkap rasa budaya dan tempat yang sebenarnya. Hasilnya secara bersamaan adalah kisah peringatan yang menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang bagaimana dan mengapa film dokumenter dibuat dan untuk siapa, dan bukti kekuatan apa artinya melihat diri Anda di layar lebar.
In 1975 French Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Pierre Dominique Gaisseau traveled to Panama to make a film on the indigenous island-dwelling Kuna people. Accompanied by his wife and their daughter, Gaisseau lived with the Kuna for a year, gaining their trust and filming their most intimate ceremonies. He promised to share the resulting film with the community, but that never happened. Fifty years later, the Kunas are still waiting to discover “their” film, now a legend passed down from the elders to the new generation. One day, a hidden copy is found in Paris…While uncovering this fascinating story with humility and warmth, Swiss-Panamanian filmmaker Andrés Peyrot succeeds in capturing a true sense of culture and place. The result is simultaneously a cautionary tale raising questions around how and why documentaries are made and for whom, and a testament to the power of what it means to see yourself on the big screen.
