"FIFTH SUYO:
Descendants of Africans in Peru"

Posthumous film by Fernando Espinoza, artistic director of "Cimarrones,"
director of the films "Gregorio" and "Juliana".

The Inca Empire was divided into four political and administrative regions called the "The Four Suyos."
This video refers to a fifth region or "The Fifth Suyo" through Afro-Peruvians include themselves as a part of the history of Peru, because we also have a history to tell.

"Racism is an illness of the soul, an illness of the spirit; racism is the most brutal form of underdevelopment, a torture which lasts a lifetime, which excludes, which is the source and permanent cause of resentment, of the lack of integration of a group who can contribute to the creation of a better Peru..." (Fernando Espinoza)
