After the Agrarian Reform enacted in 1969 by the government led by Juan Velasco Alvarado, the Andean communities recovered their land, obtained fundamental rights such as access to public education and the possibility of working for themselves. From then on, life alternatives opened up for the children of the Andes who, unlike their predecessors, could attend school, although they still had to face many scarcities. This film looks at the lives of these children, who, together with their communities, are trying to move forward.

Una película sobre Javier Heraud poster
NR

Documentary that collects with a mixture of lightness and thunderous passages from the life and death of the Peruvian poet, who from a very young age was already the best version of himself and the promise of his generation. A kind of tribute through the testimonies of the people who loved him, contextualized with images of the political and social moment of the time, which contribute to the rescue of his memory and his poetic word, which was expressed hand in hand with his unfailing commitment to freedom. Javier Heraud, the guerrilla poet, was murdered in the Madre de Dios River in Puerto Maldonado in 1963. He was 21 years old.
