Talking Hands explores Chocó, Colombia's cultural legacy of gold, mining, and jewelry, within its biodiverse ecosystem. It contrasts gold's destructive value with the life-sustaining rainforests and rivers. Through vibrant imagery and Afro-Chocoan and Indigenous voices, the film exposes the impacts of illegal mining, state neglect, and corruption, urging action to protect Chocó's people, heritage, and environment.
