In Ancon (2012)

"En Ancón (In Ancon)" is a film that uses the setting of a popular beach town north of Lima, Peru, to explore the filmmaker's childhood memories. By revisiting this place from a distance in time and space, the filmmaker gains a new perspective on the area's history, from its pre-Incan fishing roots to its transformation into a wealthy resort after the Spanish. This separation allows for a clearer understanding of present-day class divisions in Peru. The film examines the process of recognizing these societal barriers and the potential for personal change as a path toward liberation.
