Description:
In this thought-provoking exploration of social inequality and exploitation, two documentarians journey through the impoverished areas of Bogotá and Cali in Colombia to gather footage for a German television commission. They navigate through the gritty underbelly of these cities, capturing the raw reality of abject poverty and human suffering. However, there's another perspective at play: an unseen camera crew observing these "vampire" filmmakers as they meticulously hunt for the most shocking and distressing images to tell their story. This compelling narrative not only exposes the harsh realities faced by marginalized communities but also raises questions about the ethics of documentary filmmaking and the impact it has on those being documented.
