PACHAMAMA
A film by Eryk Rocha, Brazil-RJ, 2008, 105 min.
Pachamama, meaning “mother Earth” for the Andean natives and designates the fertility goddess for the peasants, tells of the journey of the director Eryk Rocha in the Brazilian forest towards Peru and Bolivia. Places in which one meets the reality of people that have historically been excluded from the political processes of their countries, and who for the first time in history seek effective participation in building their own destiny. The film is a thirty-day odyssey that reveals a continent in motion – interspersed by the millenary Andean culture – which irradiates to the South American continent the primordial substance of new political paradigms.
