Synopsis

Hilda’s new home is the story of an Embera Indian who lives in one of the most affected regions by the Colombian armed conflict: in the jungles surrounding the Atrato river. After three years of following Hilda and her community, the documentary tells her drama while she wanders through the jungle fleeing away from armed groups. The pressure on Hilda’s community forces them to build three different villages, and to relinquish their ancestral customs to a regime that imposes strict curfews and bans on fishing and hunting, almost to the point of starvation.
