SANA QUE SANA

Sana Que Sana explores my grandmother’s process of healing and emerging from a lifetime of betrayal. It approaches her discovery of my grandfather’s biggest secret amid his accelerating dementia — his absolution — and his later death. This short film, shot on film in the lush foothills of Colombia, navigates death and honor in the context of religion, culture, shame, and devotion. Sana Que Sana is a tender yet biting portrait of healing, utilizing both documentary and interpretive elements to illustrate the cyclical nature of forgiveness, while offering the underlying question: who is seeking the healing?

Approached from a perspective two generations removed, Sana Que Sana layers intimate voice-over interviews with my  grandmother over 16mm and 35mm footage shot in both Cali, Colombia and New York City.
