“Brilliantly tells the human side of the immigration story
” - Larry Pittman, editor, ACAP magazine “Esta película muestra de una forma positiva y realista la necesidad de identificación cultural que tenemos los inmigrantes y los hijos de inmigrantes y ademas como la diversidad cultural y racial de nosotros los peruanos se expresa en nuestras comunidades en EEUU, a pesar de la distancia que nos separa de nuestro país de origen.” - Carlos A. Quiroz “A magnificent tribute to cultural re-awakening” - Rick Vecchio, Peru Times “"Felicitaciones! It really captures Peru..shows people just how rich Peru is. Soy Andina is a joyous celebration and we certainly need more of those!
” - Ben Box, editor, Footprint Peru “A beautiful film of an amazing spiritual journey! This film sheds light on biculturalism, merging of old worlds with new visions, and the courage to believe and follow your dreams! Loved every minute of this beautiful film. my favorite part of the film, that I am thrilled you had the intuition and craft to include: The part where Cynthia describes dancing tondero as feeling love for someone although they may not be there or do not exist at the moment....that part was brilliant! Thanks again for sharing and bringing to light our experience.
