The Kuna community in the Guna Yala islands off Panama’s Caribbean coast is one of the largest remaining Indigenous tribes in Latin America. In 1975, Pierre-Dominique Gaisseau, an Oscar-winning French filmmaker and anthropologist, spent a year documenting the Kuna’s matrilocal society. He promised to share the resulting film with the community, but that never happened. In recent years, the Kuna have been on a quest to see that promise fulfilled, Arysteides Turpana being one of the most dogged among them. God is a Woman follows Turpana’s quest and captures how a younger Kuna generation is making their own media.
