Goats don't eat corozo

Directed by Nicolás Cuervo Rincón

With Yasser Wilches, Yiya Figueroa, Jose Luis Cotes and Carlos Mejía

In Los Moreneros, an Afro village in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, in the Colombian Guajira; there is a community that treasures ancient knowledge of black cuisine. Midwives and old people know the secret of Chicharro, a corozo-based stew that is only prepared there. To prevent this flavor from being buried by time, a school arises in the backyards of the houses where the old men teach the children black recipes in wood stoves. Yasser, a 10-year-old kitchen apprentice, shows us how his grandmother Yiya, the great master of Chicharro, transmits wisdom and flavor to future cooks in the region.
