The Vampires of Poverty
Watch the misfortune of the miserable... uncensored
A darkly satirical meta-documentary that critiques exploitative filmmaking by turning the camera on the exploiters themselves, blending social critique with uncomfortable comedy.
Two filmmakers travel around impoverished sectors of the cities of Bogotá and Cali in search of the images of abjection needed to complete a documentary commissioned by German TV. Meanwhile, another camera captures these “vampire” filmmakers feeding off the misery of their marginal subjects.
