One standout title is Rigo, a biographical series that tells the story of Rigoberto Urán, one of Colombia’s most beloved cyclists. Directed by Juan Carlos Mazo and Catalina Hernández, and produced by Ana María Pérez, the series seeks to capture the essence of perseverance embodied by the athlete.

On the same line there’s Darío Gómez, also a bio-series that offers an emotional perspective on the life of Colombian Singer Darío Gómez, seen through the eyes of the women who shaped his journey. From his mother, Abigail, who nurtured his love for music, to his first wife, Ligia, who inspired his early dreams and heartbreak songs, and Olga, his manager and wife, who propelled his career while facing personal struggles. Lastly, Vanessa, his later love, brought him balance and redemption. Through these relationships, we witness not only the artist but the man behind the legend, rising above his tragedies to become the “King of Broken Hearts”.
