Film-maker Alan Ereira is to revisit his BBC documentary about a lost civilization living in Colombia in a feature-length film on the subject.
The original documentary – From the Heart of the World: The Elder Brother‟s Warning – saw Ereira meet the hidden Kogi tribe, the last high civilization from the time of the Incas and Aztecs, on an isolated mountain on the Colombian Caribbean coast.
The 1990 documentary focused on the Kogi‟s belief that the earth needs to be protected in order to maintain natural order, and raised alarm bells over the modern world‟s destruction of resources.
