*Synopsis (ENGLISH)*
Eudosia is still searching for her husband’s remains in the highlands of
Ayacucho, Lucero has been in prison for 25 years now for the crime of
terrorism against the Peruvian state, and since 2009 the commandos of the
counterinsurgency unit Chavin de Huantar recreate and commemorate their
heroic military actions to save a nation from the threat of terrorism.
Twelve years after the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission
published its final report about the atrocities committed during the
internal armed conflict (1980-2000), memories of this period seem more
contested than ever.
This film explores the complex legacies of twenty years of violence and war
in Peru through practices of remembering. In three audio-visual pieces made
in collaboration with relatives of the disappeared, insurgents of the Tupac
Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) and members of the Armed Forces, this
documentary aims for creating an on-screen dialogue between memories, which
in practice remains elusive.
*ESPAÑOL:*
Eudosia busca aún a su esposo desaparecido en las alturas de Ayacucho,
Lucero está en prisión desde hace 25 años por el crimen de terrorismo en
contra del Estado Peruano y desde el año 2009 los comandos Chavín de
Huantar recrean y conmemoran el heroico operativo que salvó a la nación del
terrorismo. Doce años han pasado desde que la Comisión de la Verdad y
Reconciliación publicó su Informe Final en el que da cuenta de las
atrocidades cometidas durante el conflicto armado interno (1980-2000) y las
memorias sobre este periodo parecen más polarizadas que nunca.
Esta película explora, a través de las prácticas de memoria, el complejo
legado de veinte años de violencia y guerra en el Perú. A través de tres
piezas audiovisuales hechas en colaboración con familiares de
desaparecidos, insurgentes del Movimiento Revolucionario Tupac Amaru (MRTA)
y miembros de las Fuerzas Armadas este documental intenta poner en diálogo
estas memorias que en la práctica se eluden entre ellas.
