Meeting the Shining Path, 26 mins, 2011 (Ref:
790)
After a harrowing and
dangerous journey through Peru’s “Emergency Zone” in
the most remote and inhospitable part of the Amazon
jungle, we meet the remnants of the Shining Path - a
subversive group responsible for a conflict that
claimed 70,000 lives. At their secret base camp,
reporter Fernando Lucena interviews its notorious
leaders – men who’ve never been seen on film before.
And the very same men for whose capture the US
government have recently offered a 5-million dollar
reward, after branding them assassins and
drug-traffickers.
