200 years after Simón Bolívar's liberation campaign across Colombia, La Laguna del Soldado retraces The Liberator's journey across the high-altitude marshlands while searching for glimpses of his ghost still present in this historically contested territory. Reflecting on the construction of historical narratives and their environmental repercussions, La Laguna del Soldado traverses the páramo, a living and elusive archive, navigating through the dense fog suspended between Simon Bolivar's past and Colombia's present. LA LAGUNA DEL SOLDADO is the second in a three-part series of films exploring the intersection of oral narratives, political outcomes, and the territories marked by Simón Bolívar's passage during the Liberation Campaign of Colombia in 1819. The first completed part is BICENTENARIO (2021). Laguna del Soldado participated at Docs in Progress at Festival de Cannes 2023 where it was awarded with the Docs in Orbit Invitation Award.
