Editorial
The second part of a trilogy from directing duo Jessica Woodworth & Peter Brosens, Altiplano is set among the breathtaking landscapes of the Peruvian Andes—an area often desecrated by mercury excavations. A story at once tragic and spiritual, the film is enriched by striking cinematography.
