When we come to the US from different countries and rarely go back to our communities, it is very easy to lose the sense of village and family. We and our families often live isolated lives and forget to share with our kids the rituals, music and dances still practiced and perform in our towns… It is challenging to blend into American culture and still keep those traditions alive.

To reflect this struggle, there is “Soy Andina”, a documentary film about how art and cultural heritage brings together two women in Peru. The documentary is fantastic for both adults and children since it not only shows diverse and colorful dances full of energy, it also shows how different the cities and villages are that our parents and ancestors come from; how in spite of the chaos surrounding developing world cities there is this warmth and closeness to the earth so hard to find in big cities.

The film contributes to better understanding and appreciate the cultural roots of many immigrants in the USA, not only Latinos, and serves as entertainment as well as an educational tool that will sure spark a conversation during dinner time!
