Private Project

GALILEE

The biologist Hermes Juez carries out an expedition to the Galilea Forest, a historic place near Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, where in 1955 the peasant families that the government bombed excessively for months were sheltered. There he manages to document the great biodiversity guided by Don Henry who will take him to see the churuco monkeys that are in critical danger of extinction. During the expedition the news is heard: a soldier kills a spectacled bear in the Galilee forest. Now the mission is to perform a necropsy on the corpse, bury the bear and prevent it from happening again.
