Market Square of Girardot: Leopoldo Rother

Filmed in October 2025 & edited in January 2026 –  4:47

The documentary Market Square of Girardot: Leopoldo Rother collects the voices of the shopkeepers who inhabit this emblematic space today, designed as a masterpiece of modern Colombian architecture. Through their testimonies, the contrast between Rother's innovative vision—light, ventilation, and functionality—and the progressive deterioration of the place is revealed. The plaza, now unsafe and partially abandoned, sees many merchants selling outside on tricycles, highlighting institutional neglect and the loss of a living heritage.
