Defenses, Chronicle of the Stick Game 2008

Directed by Aldrina Valenzuela · Documentary · 70 min

The Garrote Game, an art almost extinct due to its clandestine nature throughout time, contains a whole proposal of behavior, conduct and a philosophy deeply rooted in the roots of the Venezuelan people. Through the testimonies and games of some masters of this form of self-defense, we delve into this manifestation of national identity, as a phenomenon of oral transmission that has survived many generations.
