Song Without A Name – Plight of a Pregnant Indigenous Woman in Peru

Song Without A Name Film Difficulty Ranking: 3

Song Without a Name is a tragedy on many levels. Most immediately, there’s Georgina’s personal tragedy. Then there’s the tragedy of Peru in the 1980’s – oppressed by a military state. And in the background, there’s the tragedy of Peru’s indigenous population, that is being left behind. Song Without A Name is a brilliantly made black and white drama of one indigenous woman’s experience in a turbulent 1980’s Peru.
