The Last News
Writer
In a town in the southern Andes in Peru, a DJ from a local radio station decides to start a news report to share the stories from the victims of the Maoist guerrilla of the Shinning Path, as well as the brutal repression from the police and military forces during the Civil War that took place in the 80s and early 90s in the country. Due to this risky job, he'll be seen as an "enemy" for both of the parties in conflict, jeopardizing the news report as well as his own life.
Sueños lejanos
Writer
In 1987, 'Negro', 11 years old, and 'Gringo', one year younger, worked together like so many other children at Lima's Wholesale Fruit Market. In the short-film 'Little Men Meet' they shared with us their lives, jobs and dreams. We meet them again twenty years later. The country, their lives, jobs and dreams have changed. In 'Distant Dreams' the lives ou our cast members reflect upon the past, the present and the future of our country.
