Synopsis

Starting with the long-unseen photographs Italian ethnographer Guido Boggiani captured of the Ishir-Tomaraho in late 19th-century Paraguay, this film, over a century later, turns them into a powerful tool to deconstruct the colonial gaze that still defines how Indigenous are visually portrayed.
