- Summary:
- This docudrama explores the little-known situation of African slaves in Latin America in the 19th century, depicting life in runaway slave communities. Documents the history of the Cimarrones, the few African slaves who escaped from the Spanish conquistadores to live in freedom in Peru. Reenacts an incident that took place on May 8, 1808, when one band of Cimarrones ambushed a caravan of Spaniards en route to execute two slave prisoners.
