With Doc ‘Bila Burba,’ the Wagua Brothers Hope to Inspire Panama’s Indigenous Filmmakers to Tell Their Own Stories
While a number of films have been made about Panama’s Indigenous communities, few native filmmakers have been able to tell their own stories.
The Wagua brothers also provided production services to the second Indigenous-themed docu at the fest, “God Is a Woman” by Swiss-Panamanian Andres Peyrot, where they also feature among the talking heads. The Wagua brothers will be joining actress Iguandili López and writer-historian Dr. Cebaldo Inawinapi in one of the panels during the festival’s Industry Day to explore the trajectory of Indigenous pics from both historical and personal viewpoints. Meanwhile, Duiren and Orgun Wagua are co-writing and plan to co-direct a second feature, “Dulemas,” which delves into the roots and historical significance of Gunadule cuisine, considered among the best in Panama.
