Website: https://dhostudios.com/la-boquilla-mi-paraiso/ An award-winning documentary portraying a global message focusing in the moving testimonies of the inhabitants of the beautiful Virgin's Cienaga. . . a (Cienaga de la Virgen) located in the outskirts of Cartagena, Colombia, also known as "La Boquilla".
