Overview

This documentary was censored by COPROCI (the Film Promotion Commission) of Juan Velasco's government, which argued that it presented a savage view of peasants reenacting a ritual battle to maintain the fertility of the land in the Chiaraje plains (4,700 meters above sea level), in the province of Canas. The production company, without the filmmaker's permission, converted the film into a series of short films; however, a 35mm copy still exists.

Directed by Luis Figueroa Yábar
