Description: This is a son's search for his father. A familiar theme, but one that, across the generations, can occasionally unearth something rather powerful. In 'The Distance Between Us' that son is Renato Cisneros, a talented writer and a well-known journalist, and that father is the former Army General Luis Federico 'El Gaucho' Cisneros, one of the most important figures in the recent history of Peru. Renato Cisneros digs into his own family history to understand and demystify the figure of 'El Gaucho': the controversial Secretary during the regime of Francisco Morales Bermúdez and, shortly after, the country's Minister of War.
