Note of intent

Resilience, loss, and how a character wanders through these moments, made my interest grow in wanting to develop and produce this story, which touches on such indigenous themes, a story of fierce souls and characters, where strength comes before fear and the pain. Corazón de Colibrí is one of those stories that every producer would like to do, because of its complexity in the subject, but also because of the depth of its story.

Synopsis

Alexander Obregón (40) is a modest humanities teacher, student leader, and passionate about poetry. After a strange police operation, he is apprehended and accused of belonging to one of the country’s guerrillas. This fact led him to “El Pedregal”, a dangerous Colombian prison, where prisoners from all social groups coexist. And where he will live the most terrible of humiliations. As a result, Alexander finds refuge in the writing of poems, and in the reading of the prison code, with which he acquires new knowledge, making it available to inmates. This fact leads him to become a social leader of the prison. A story where poetry turns into actions, and actions turn into a man determined to change the lives of thousands.

Visual concept

Corazón de Colibrí will walk in the middle of the tragic reality that prisoners live in Latin America, passing through the stakes of power where they unfold in a crude, frontal and eminently visual way. A history of visual contrasts. Since all that violence will be accompanied by poetry, where life is still clinging to any hope. An angel in the depths of hell. It is the line of sight that we want to undertake in this frantic journey.
