The KOGI - descendants of the pre-Colombian civilization of the Tairona - are a genuine lost civilization hidden on an isolated triangular pyramid mountain in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, nearly five miles high, on the Colombian-Caribbean coast.
The Kogi say that without thought, nothing could exist.
In 1990 they emerged to work with Alan Ereira, making the 90-minute documentary "From the Heart of the World" for BBC1 in which they dramatically warned of our need to change course. Then they withdrew again.
This documentary led to a complete transformation of the Colombian attitude to these people. Today, each new Colombian President has to visit the mountain and seek their blessing. But now the Kogi have summoned Alan Ereira back to say that we did not actually listen to what they said. We are incapable of being changed by being spoken to. They now understand that we learn through our eyes, not our ears. In the face of the approaching apocalypse, they have asked Ereira to make a film with them which will take the audience on a perilous journey into the mysteries of their sacred places to change our understanding of reality. The new film ALUNA is not a work of fiction. ARE YOU READY TO BE CHANGED?
