Adieu sauvage

This documentary examines a pattern of suicides occurring among the Cácuas people in the Colombian Amazon since 2000. The film explores the belief that these men take their own lives due to heartbreak after their partners leave them for white men. It investigates the cultural gap between these groups, specifically focusing on how differences in language and the expression of emotion lead outsiders to wrongly assume the indigenous population lacks feelings.

The production was a joint effort between Belgium and France through Grand Angle Productions and Fox the Fox. The cast features several individuals appearing as themselves, including Sergio Guataquira Sarmiento, Laureano Gallego Lopez, Angelina Gallego, Wesly Gallego Lopez, and Eli Gallego Lopez.

The film has a runtime of 92 minutes. It is generally well-regarded by its viewers, holding a rating of 7.8/10 on IMDb based on 50 votes.
