Aluna is a 2012 feature-length documentary film sequel to the 1990 BBC documentary The Heart of The World: Elder Brother's Warning. The first documentary showed an ancient Kogi tribe civilisation (the Elder Brother) who emerge to offer their concern for people of the modern world (Younger Brother). Younger Brother is urged to change or suffer environmental disaster. After offering the warning the Kogi retreat back to civilisation hidden in a mountain in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia.
The Kogis have re-emerged. Long-ago realising that the importance of their warning had not been grasped. As well as warning Younger Brother they have decided to share their secret sciences in the belief that sharing these new sciences will share their burden of changing the world for the better.
Realising that their warning in 1990 was not fully grasped the Kogis choose to become more proactive. Even though their civilisation have never used wheels and have no literature, they diligently study film cameras and train their own indigenous film crew. The Kogis ask for Alan Ereira, whom they allowed to film their 1990 message to assist. Again the Kogi Mamos are more proactive and decide that there will be "no more secrets". They wanted to demonstrate their planetary healing sciences in front of the cameras to demonstrate their secret science to the modern world and to show visible and measurable results. They also wish to teach other people how to conduct these sciences in order to heal the world and they spoke with modern scientists as they feel that they have a different science to show them.
In order to help to further convince the modern world of the importance preserving the planet, the Kogi give a demonstration of the interconnectivity of the planet. Which the Kogis claim will produce visible and measurable results. To do this a small group of Kogis travel to London, England to fetch 400 kilometres (250 miles) of gold thread, reportedly the longest ever made.
