After thirty years of living with her father’s absence, Ángela has a dream in which he asks her to look for him, and she sets out across Colombia with her sister Juliana. Their search leads them to the Indigenous territory where their father, the Afro-Colombian farmer Esaú Carabalí Brand, was forcibly disappeared. Weaving together family memories, conversations, landscapes, and an unexpected sound archive, the film moves between an intimate search and a broader history shaped by violence, displacement, and resistance, and by struggles over land.
The screening comes ten years after the Colombian government and the FARC signed their 2016 peace agreement, which makes Soñé su nombre especially timely. Instead of approaching the armed conflict through statistics or official narratives, the film brings its lasting consequences close to home through one family’s experience and shows how deeply memory, territory, food, and community are bound up with one another.
After the film, Ángela Carabalí joins Valery Rojas Caro and the audience for a Q&A and an open conversation, inviting everyone to reflect together on disappearance, memory, the legacies of armed conflict, and what peace means in Colombia today.
