Projects

El Negociador

◆The Negotiators is a documentary set in diverse countries around the World: Colombia, South Sudan, Mexico, Bosnia-Herzegovina, all of them places torn apart by armed violence for decades. But where there is conflict there are also people trying to end it. By following Jordi Raich, a professional with more than thirty years of field experience, we discover the symphony of voices and stories of those neutral intermediaries in their search for peace.

Zooilogico

◆Animals and humans share 250.000 years of common history. Wild animals, working animals, pets. Their diversity and abilities both fascinate and frighten us. To animals we attribute the best and worst human qualities: astute, cruel, loyal. They are an integral part of our language: mad as a hornet, wolf in sheep's clothing, happy as a clam. We have humanized them to tell stories to children and adults alike. Zooilógico is a singular project about human and animal stories in the middle of wars, a passionate cocktail of politics, sociology, zoology, literature and photography that transcends the natural borders to travel across animal humanity and human animality.

Bogota: Grafiticity

◆Bogotá: Grafiticity is a photographic project which explores the street art of the Colombian capital, a cultural reference to all Latin America. Its walls display the best creativity of urgency, the fear and fury of a developed continent in development, of a nation at war, of mountains of violence and coffee, rainforests of vallenato and coca, villages filled with individualism and hospitality, museums and criminal gangs, theatres and corruption, shrimps and frying, multimillionaires and multimiserables. A land of magic and tragic realism. Love and hate in spray strokes.

Els viatgers de la gran anaconda

◆Els viatgers de la gran anaconda is a radio program which uses the experience of travelling to explore human and physical landscapes from all over the world. Through the tales of travellers, the program aims at facilitating the discovery of far away social, cultural and political realities and, by comparison, foster a better understanding of ourselves. El viatgers de la gran anaconda is an open window that helps listeners look beyond their cultural horizon and thus put into perspective who we are. Jordi Raich's features, compiled in the books Guerres de Plàstic and El caos sostenible, take us to the surreal and paradoxical social realities of Palestine and Israel.

Con animo de lucro

◆Con ánimo de lucro is a documentary about poverty in the Third and First Worlds. It analyses both societies from the perspectives of the NGOs, the media, the education establishment, politicians and religion, and it challenges the UN objectives for the new millennium. Con ánimo de lucro will make you think about your attitude and the potential for change that individuals may have. The documentary was filmed in Nicaragua and Barcelona. "While I was planning the film I was told about a book: El Espejismo Humanitario, by Jordi Raich. That book became the backbone of the documentary, it influenced its structure, my thinking, and my own life." Joan Planas (Director and Producer).
