Nohelia draws the life of a school director in a village in the colombian rainforest. School is the antithesis to political lawlessness. In every day life ruled by poverty and political despotism, Nohelia teaches her students in Afrocolombianism.
Nohelia: ?In order to know where we´re going we have to know where we come from. What do you want to become when you´re grown up?
Children: Football player, soldier or drug baron.

Mata Tigre illustrates how music transforms the lives of youths in Venezuela. The film tells five stories that take place in five different locations, yet have one thing in common: the expectation that music can change life for the better.

To kill the tiger ("Mata Tigre") means that nothing can get you down. To learn a musical instrument under difficult conditions is a similar challenge.
