Abstract: Based on the findings of the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the film chronicles the atrocities of both sides during the twenty year war between Abimael Guzman's revolutionary "Shining Path" Indian guerrilla movement and the establishment governments. The Commission presents an alternate lens through which citizens of Peru can evaluate the inequalities their Indian people sought to address and the inevitable ravages modern terrorism brings to everyone.
