Two hundred years after Simón Bolívar’s liberation campaign across Colombia, The Soldier’s Lagoon (La Laguna del Soldado) retraces his journey across the high-altitude marshlands, while also searching for glimpses of his ghost still present in this historically contested territory. Reflecting on the construction of historical narratives and their environmental repercussions, The Soldier’s Lagoon traverses the “páramo,” navigating through the dense fog suspended between Simón Bolívar’s past and Colombia’s present.
