Pan Blanco. Indigenas Despues de Colon

Description

In the manner of a mirror, this film provides a reflection of how both local and national Paraguayan identity has emerged through contact with indigenous people. The principal reflecting gaze in the film is that of a 'cultural technician', Don Ramon as he travels through a remote area of the country. As in the history of all contacts, political power and strategies of conquest and control attend the intercultural exchange.
