Cinema Videoteca del Sur: "La Boca del Lobo"Jul 16 2008 - 07:00 LA BOCA DEL LOBO La Boca Del Lobo graphically depicts the violent struggle between the Peruvian military and the Shining Path guerrillas, focusing on the peasants that are caught in the middle of abuse from both sides. The story is based on true incidents that took place in the mountain town of Chuspi between 1980 and 1983, where a small unit of soldiers was garrisoned to defend the town from attack by the Shining Path. As the movie progresses, the increasingly violent and extreme conflict between the military and the guerillas causes the suffering and death of dozens of the town’s peasants. Each man is challenged to define himself as a man, to justify his actions in some way, and to act on his beliefs. La Boca del Lobo questions the moral limit of actions used to protect national security in Peru and the rest of Latin America.
