"Water Drums, an Ancestral Encounter" is a documentary that showcases the power of African roots in Venezuelan musical expressions. The story of Afro-Venezuelans is established in the film when the central character encounters "water drums," a unique and surprising musical expression from the Barlovento region.

Long distances become closer when roots are strong enough to stumble over time.
