My Rating

Movie Info

A seemingly idyllic childhood is shattered in a nation torn apart by civil war in this powerful drama from Peru. Juan was an 11-year-old boy living in a small rural community when the town's corrupt mayor was killed. Local authorities believe that the murderers are part of the "Sendero Lumino" (meaning "Shining Path"), an underground revolutionary army dedicated to bringing down the government, and Juan's father, Fermin (Aristoteles Picho), is arrested for suspected involvement with the group.

Unrated, 1 hr. 28 min.

Audience Reviews for Paloma de Papel (Paper Dove)

This movie is a realistic depiction of the Shining Path guerillas, and their methods of recruiting kids into their ranks through kidnapping and force. They embrace their ideology so strongly that they loose their humanity. The army that opposes them use brutal and sweeping measures, so they are hardly much better.
