Soy Andina: A Documentary Film

"The dazzling story of two women raised in different worlds — an immigrant folk dancer from the Andes, and a modern dancer from Queens, NY — who return to Peru to reconnect with roots and an astonishing world of traditional dance and celebration."

Peru has a very rich culture and this film touches on one important aspects in the lives of most Peruvians: Dance. As some of you know, I've mentioned Huayno dancing a number of times in my past e-mails. This is the prefered dance of Mayu's artisans and of course it was one of my favorite Peace Corps activities! In this film, you will catch a glimpse of rural Andean life and have a better understanding of where our artisans come from. This wonderful documentary was created by Mitch Teplitsky.
