#peruvian independence

LOS OTROS LIBERTADORES is an 8 episode mini-series that dramatizes the lives of the heroes who played key roles in the Peruvian War of Independence (1811 - 1828). In two episodes, we have the famous Tupac Amaru II, María Bellido, and María Parado de Bellido (Andean indigenous people in history) dipected by Andean Actors. This is groundbreaking for Andean actors, as Latin America is still racist towards its indignous people.
