Documentary by Cesar Vivanco.
This was my first documentary, and it was the result of an Alto Misayoc initiation I shared with the great Fernando Fuenzalida and Victor Nuñez del Prado. It was on that magical night that I connected with the relationship between Pachacamac and the Lord of Miracles, or Christ of Pachacamilla. The short film, Lord of Pachacamac, seeks to exalt the religiosity of the Peruvian people and shows the links and archetypal gestures between these two deities. The film brings us closer to the laments of human hearts that each year focus their hopes on an image steeped in profound tradition. Different times, one God.

As its name suggests, the documentary deals with the duality of religious beliefs in the Andes. It explores the duality and struggle that existed in the Peruvian Andes, primarily in Cusco, between the Roman-Christian gods brought by the Spanish and the gods of the Tawantinsuyu (Inca Empire). Did supernatural miracles exist before the arrival of the Spanish? Did original sin exist before their arrival? Did saints exist? This socio-religious phenomenon remains unresolved to this day and manifests itself as a perpetual, underlying conflict.
