  • On January 9, 2023, Peruvian police opened fire on Indigenous Quechua and Aymara protesters in Juliaca, killing at least 18 civilians. Uyariy responds to this massacre through the music and song of Andean artists, taking us on a journey through the Puno region and its long history of repression and Indigenous uprising. Weaving in testimonies from victims' families, the film becomes a meditation on memory, identity, and justice.
