Hugo Blanco, Deep River

Hugo Blanco, Deep River

2DCS/ES12
Director:Malena Martínez Cabrera
Premiere:12. March 2019
Length:72 minutes
Genre:Document

Director: Malena Martínez Cabrera

The “Peruvian Che Guevara” – thus was the man labeled who led Peruvian farmers in their battle against landowners in the 1960s.

Half a century ago, with the slogan “Land or Death” and as in other parts of South America, a rebellion against social and economic oppression was sparked in Peru. The face of Hugo Blanco – a charismatic young man with a black beard who led local villagers in their battle – made the front page after he was arrested for attacking a police station. 50 years later the maker of this visually impressive film met with the legendary guerrilla leader. During his imprisonment, Hugo’s black beard turned white and the Trotsky-inspired opinions of his youth took on more realistic contours. But nothing has changed about Hugo’s determination to join in the battle against iniquity and injustice at all times.
