State of Fear

Posted by Nicholas Gill Jul 6, 2006

Not to long ago I was lucky enough to se a screening of State of Fear at the Wexner Center at the Ohio State University in Columbus. The movie gives an in depth look at the years of terrorism in Peru. There is plenty of live footage, interviews, and a man angle look at how the everything happened and more importantly why it did. The reports and findings of the truth commision set to help understand the two decades of terror are all disclosed and simplified. The 95 minute film directed by Pamela Yates really shows how far the country has come.

There's also a hilarious bloppers real of media executives taking bribes from government officials that is worth the price alone. You may be able to find a screening somewhere or you can purchase the DVD from Skylight pictures (www.skylightpictures.com/film_pass_tfear.html).
