Goats don't eat corozo

Synopsis

In Los Moreneros, an Afro village in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, in the Colombian Guajira; there is a community that treasures ancient knowledge of black cuisine. Midwives and old people know the secret of Chicharro, a corozo-based stew that is only prepared there. To prevent this flavor from being buried by time, a school arises in the backyards of the houses where the old men teach the children black recipes in wood stoves. Yasser, a 10-year-old kitchen apprentice, shows us how his grandmother Yiya, the great master of Chicharro, transmits wisdom and flavor to future cooks in the region.
