From the misty peaks of China to the sun-soaked shores of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast, a new documentary project is weaving together two worlds . Costa Rican filmmaker Kim Torres is turning the lens on a Chinese woman’s life in the vibrant coastal communities of Costa Rica — a tale that’s as much about personal journeys as it is about global connections.
Torres, part of a collaborative China-Latin America filmmakers’ initiative, aims to uncover shared values between these distant cultures. Think bustling Chinese night markets meets Costa Rica’s laid-back ‘pura vida’ vibes . The project highlights how food, traditions, and everyday stories can build bridges across 14,000 kilometers.
Why it matters: As streaming platforms explode with travel content, this docu-project offers fresh perspectives for culture-hungry Gen Z viewers. It’s also a nod to the growing creative ties between Asia and Latin America — perfect for diaspora communities craving authentic homeland narratives.
Stay tuned: The film could drop during next year’s Lunar New Year festivities , mixing dragon dances with Costa Rican fiestas!
