A boatman delivers cargo to remote Indigenous and Maroon communities along the river bordering Suriname and French Guiana. His winding journey offers an inside look into the complex challenge of maintaining local customs in the face of rampant gold mining, multinational corporations, and a changing climate.
Monikondee is the second feature documentary I worked on with Lonnie van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan.
Apart from colour work the project required some paint and patch-up vfx work to remove Gopro cameras and preserve continuity.
