Back to Paoyhan

April, 2014

For the fourth consecutive year, the Ucayali River overflowed its banks, carrying everything in its path. The ancient inhabitants of the district of Padre Marquez in Loreto are puzzled, because in the past, the great floods that produce overflows were seen every 10 years. In the short video, Miguel, a Shipibo shaman who lives in Pucallpa, decides to return to his community, Paoyhán, after two years to see with his own eyes how the latest floods have affected his family.
