Synopsis
Aty Seikuinduwa: Judge Between Worlds, shot in Colombia, chronicles the spiritual and legal journey of Indigenous Judge Belkis Izquierdo, whose ground-breaking legal decisions recognize Territory as a victim of armed conflict within the framework of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace (JEP), the Colombian Peace Tribunal.
This intimate portrayal of Aty Seikuinduwa, Belkis’ spiritual name, shows how she has found a way to represent the living land, the multiple life systems, and Indigenous spiritual practices in court. What happens when a voice for invisible guardians is represented in the halls of power, and legal rulings incorporate Indigenous knowledge? How do these two worlds coexist?
