‘Conexión: Huachuma’ developed over a long period of time. It took me five years and nine uphill climbs to Marcahuasi to realize that the initial portrait film about an indigenous curandero had turned into my story and journey of grief. In San Pedro de Casta, a small Andean town at 3,200 meters above sea level, I met Nachi, who opened his home and heart to me. The more time I spent with him, the deeper our friendship grew, and with it, my understanding of loss and resilience. I am infinitely grateful that Nachi invited me to be part of his world, showing me his deep connection with Mama Pacha. Our film is a celebration of Peruvian culture, the search for connection with nature and the mystical world. But above all, it is an intimate story about grief and letting go.
