Vi el documental en una de las presentaciones que hicieron en lima. Me gustó muchísimo, quisiera saber si va haber alguna otra presentación (lima) o si hay alguna manera de conseguirlo en dvd.
felicitaciones
Por favor, vuelvanlo a pasar en Peru, en la universidades, debemos seguir gestando conciencia, que esta no se pierda y vuelvan a ocurrir los hechos.
Interesting ! It's important, to know about the social and politic circumstances in other parts of the world! This is globalization!
In Europe we have indeed a foggy image of Perú ! The 80s was the era, when Reagan's world-war program was on duty - the 1st Gulf (Iraq-Iran) war, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Pakistan civil-war, the war on las Malvinas, many Latin-American countries were in trouble then ...... our interests focus was on other trouble spots! Although we had (and still have) Peruvian refugees here, and especially in the 80s travelled a lot of people from here to Perú as tourists, we don't really know about the life there!
I don't know why! Probably because of the difficulties to understand the domestic politics and its frequently changing.
Este documental me ha parecido extraordinario, felicitaciones a este exitoso documental, lleve a mi hija de 15 años que quiere seguir arte como carrera, y esto fue mas alla de lo expectado!! Buenisimo!
What a great insightful video about these particular artists' backgrounds, motivations, processes, and sociopolitical messages. I was fortunate to have Ann talk about and show the video to my Cultural Studies students at Otis College of Art and Design.
