“Los rastreadores” is originally a two channel video installation. Set in Bolivia, it shows a drug lord recently released from a Miami prison, returning home in Santa Cruz. Inspired by Roberto Suarez Gomez past life, the "king of cocaine", the film merges and distills issues of race, belonging, class systems, and alienation. Using silences and voice-overs to focus on the power of myth where literal events operate as a displacement for the political discourse.
