SYNOPSIS

Hijos del Sol is a documentary that explores the transformation of ancestral solar rituals in Bolivia under the influence of spiritual tourism, globalization, and the contemporary search for the “authentic.” Through the eyes of Bolivian filmmaker Leonardo Pacheco, the film observes the encounter between Indigenous traditions and outsiders seeking healing, spirituality, and a connection with the sacred, raising a fundamental question: when does spiritual exchange become cultural appropriation?
