The award winning documentary “Eyes of the Journey,” a feature-length visual poem exploring the fate of the Earth and her children, will be screened at First Parish Church.

The film narrates the journey of the “paq’o” (healer) Hipólito Peralta Ccama through different parts of the Peruvian sierra, attending to the call of the people and nature. Otero uses this journey to compose a complex metaphor of the human condition from the landscapes of the Andean world and its powerful imaginary, in a documentary that stretches the limits of the genre to lead to what might be considered an offering or petition to life.

Hipolito Peralta Ccama and filmmaker Rodrigo Otero Heraud will be attending. There will be a talk-back with the artists following the screening.

Co-sponsored by the Social Action and Immigration Justice committees.
