State of Fear

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

State of Fear

Director: Pamela Yates
Director, Producer Paco di
Onis and Editor Peter Kinoy in person
How can an open society balance demands for security with democracy? Based on the findings of the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission, STATE OF FEAR is an essential film for our time. Blending personal testimony, history and archival footage, it tells the story of escalating violence in Peru and how the fear of terror undermined their democracy, making the Andean nation a virtual dictatorship where official corruption replaced the rule of law. After terrorist attacks by Shining Path insurgents provoked a military occupation of the countryside, military justice replaced civil authority, widespread abuses by the Peruvian Army went unpunished, and the terrorism continued to spread. Nearly 70,000 civilians eventually died at the hands of Shining Path insurgents and the Peruvian military. (2005, 94 min., in English and Spanish with English subtitles.)
Showing: May 18, 8:30pm, Crown Hall  May 19, 4pm, Crown Hall

  • Well done documentary about terrorism and the widespread fear in Peru, first perpetrated by the Shining Path and then replaced by a corrupt government. Security versus the loss of civil rights. Definately a movie for our time!
