Made in Colombia: Stories That Leave a Mark

Senior Audiovisual Journalist | Investigative Journalist

National and International Impact Through Visual Storytelling.

A documentary series born from the voices and journeys that shape Colombia. Stories of resilience, identity, and everyday impact, told through intimate, human-centered film.

Social Prosperity, FUPAD, and Discovery Channel present Made in Colombia: Stories That Leave a Mark, a documentary that brings audiences into some of Colombia’s most remote and culturally rich regions to showcase the impact of national social inclusion programs.

The film follows community-led initiatives across the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, where Indigenous families strengthen their livelihoods through sustainable harvests; in Guapi, Cauca, where Afro-Colombian communities advance local development and cultural resilience; and in Montes de María, where the renowned Tejedoras de Mampuján use collective textile art as a powerful expression of memory, healing, and hope.

Through intimate testimonies and visually compelling storytelling, the documentary illustrates how government programs support communities affected by poverty and armed conflict, while elevating voices that are often absent from mainstream narratives.

Broadcast across Latin America and the United States on Discovery Channel, the film reached millions of viewers and helped broaden public understanding of displacement, resilience, cultural heritage, and inclusive growth.

Made in Colombia: Stories That Leave a Mark reflects years of collaboration between Prosperidad Social and its partners, demonstrating the power of documentary storytelling as a tool for public education, policy visibility, and long-term social impact.
