Colombia’s David David on Series Mania Title ‘Colorful Life,’ Gender & Regional Diversity
Emiliano Granada During decades the Colombian film landscape has been shot through by what’s mistakingly been called an internal conflict when the reality is of an ongoing war whose violence has ripped through the whole social fabric.Films and shows have time and again addressed the ongoing violence. Yet it’s rare to find titles that are stories told from point of view of gender minorities, and even more so on regional TV.This is the case of David David’s “Colorful Life,” a six-episode mini series that follows the daily life of a young non-binary artist called Yerit, who juggles work, study and his passion for dance in Valledupar, a Caribbean city with a brimming culture yet still entrenched in a deep conservatism.
