Choco. Pelicula Colombiana Completa

BOGOTÁ, Colombia – Everything starts with a little girl’s request, which anywhere else in the world would likely be easy to fulfill.

Anywhere but Chocó, a department in northwest Colombia.

The girl asks for a colorful birthday cake with candles to blow out. However, her family’s dire financial situation makes her wish impossible to grant.

The family’s inability to afford something that could be considered so simple symbolizes the economic hardships faced by the department’s residents.

It’s also the first scene in director Johnny Hendrix Hinestroza’s Chocó, which has been seen by 500,000 on the big screen nationwide since its premiere on Aug. 3.

“The film is born of the reality I have seen and have grown up with in my region,” Hendrix Hinestroza said. “One day, I heard two women discussing their lives and it happened that both were involved with the same man. From that experience, I started to research the women of Chocó to understand how they live, how their partners treat them and what they do to get ahead. The result is a film that reflects Chocó’s genuineness.”

In the film, Chocó – the main character – is played by Colombian Karent Hinestroza. She’s an unemployed Afro-Colombian mother and wife who had to leave her land and move to another region within the department. She’s forced to take care of her 8-year-old daughter, 6-year-old son and jobless husband, who spends his time drinking and playing dominoes, neglecting his family.

Vanessa Alexandra Mendoza Bustos (born 1981), better known simply as Vanessa Mendoza, is a Colombian fashion model who held the Miss Colombia title in 2001, being the first Afro-Colombian to win that contest. Vanessa grew up very poor as did most of  El Choco`s population in the town of Unguia. Her region had no electricity so she had to use a candlelight to do her homework plus she rarely had a pair of shoes to wear. With the help other people in Unguia, she raised enough money to enter the competition for Miss Colombia. After winning the state of Choco she went on to win the national competition. She has persuaded government officials to provide more electricity in Unguia, she is the first person of AfroColombian to appear on a Colombian stamp and she has offered to help with negotiations for peace in the country.
