Portrait: Alvaro Sarmiento from
DW Volos on
Vimeo.
While shooting his latest documentary "La Oroya" Alvaro was thrown at
with stones. By people who did not want him to publish the dirty story
of the city. Many times the young filmmaker has put himself into
difficult situations, threatened his health and tried to give people a
voice who are not visible in the media. In our portrait Alvaro talks
about more difficulties he has to cope with as a critical filmmaker in
Peru.
