Media has placed in people around the world one distinctive image of what Peru looks like: an Andean peasant walking a llama surrounded by a breathtaking landscape with high snowy peaks at the back and maybe ruins from an ancient culture somewhere in this picture. But Peru is more than this postcard simplification, it is a diverse, multicultural, full of contradictions and complex society which young Peruvian film makers have started, a few years ago, exploring and representing. They have portrayed characters and told stories from the diverse groups that conforms it, thus generating and new image of what we are.
