“Promised Land” is an experimental documentary film that mixes the personal and the political. It follows the story of my family in Peru, from the middle of the last century through to the present day. It is told from a personal point of view and also in relation to the political developments taking place throughout the Latin American continent. This film waves together these various viewpoints, forming a unique perspective on memory, history and identity. (MA)
