The Footprints of the Path

2012 · 63 min · ★ 6.0 · Documentary

The footprints of the path is a socio-political documentary feature that analyzes the footprints left in the collective memory of the Ayacucho region (Peru) after the conflict that faced and continues to confront the Marxist Shining Path movement and the Peruvian State. It is a critical, dynamic and impressive documentary that delves into the depths of the suffering of a people and that does not give the viewer respite, placing him face to face with the protagonists of the conflict. This time, it will be the viewer who must draw their own conclusions.
