The Shining Trench of Chairman Gonzalo

A recreation of one day at the Canto Grande prison in Peru, following women guerrillas from the Maoist Shining Path movement in their morning marches to their bedtime chants. Kept isolated in their own cellblocks, the guerrillas refused to acknowledge that were imprisoned. Their cellblocks were another front in the People's War-- "shining trenches of combat". This film shows the intense indoctrination and belief system of the brutal Latin American insurgency.

30.000 horas y 1 segundo

30,000 hours and 1 second tells the story of a son and his parents, separated by 300,000 hours of distance. The son, typical of the decimated generation, lives a monotonous and boring life, where he is not at any time since he still cannot find his identity. The parents, victims of state terrorism and who make up those 30,000 disappeared, will suffer any type of torture until their lives are finally taken from them. A clock, which represents the inexorable temporality between these two stories, will be our driver in this story that searches for the truth through memory to rebuild an identity that was stolen.
