Joris Lachaise. ‘Transfariana’

At La Picota, a high-security prison south of Bogotá, the marriage of a FARC guerrilla to a transgender woman ex-sex worker, sentenced to life imprisonment, first provoked scandal, then a transformation of mentalities. Based on the story of this rebellious nuptials, the film follows the encounter between two forms of struggle, two models of struggle that are transformed by interpenetrating. FARC and LGBTQIA+, same fight?
Between the world of prisons, urban life in Bogotá and the Colombian jungle, the camera watches for signs of change in society. An intelligent, surprising and deeply human mosaic film.
