- Summary:
- A documentary on events following the decades-long civil insurrection in Peru. After the capture of Abimael Guzmán, leader of the Maoist-inspired revolutionary movement Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path), a Truth and Reconciliation Commission is created to visit local communities and address the tragedies that occurred during hostilities. Chief among these communities is Lucanamarca, a rural town that experienced the single worst episode of violence, in which 69 adults and children were killed, in response to the killing of a local Sendaro Luminoso field commander. The arrival of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to exhume the bodies of the Lucanamarca victims for fact-finding stirs up strong memories of the violence, conflicting stories of who was involved, and enmity between those who supported or opposed the revolutionaries.
