![]() ![]() ![]() With support from The Ford Foundation, the Sundance Documentary Fund, and the US Institute of Peace, Skylight Pictures has released this feature length documentary directed by Pamela Yates. But it is also the story of courageous Peruvians who fought to maintain their democracy and defend human rights, and persevered in their quest for truth and justice. It dramatizes the human and societal costs a democracy faces when it embarks on a “war” against terror, a “war” potentially without end, all too easily exploited by unscrupulous leaders seeking personal political gain.Īn unforgettable array of characters takes us down a troubling road peopled by perpetrators and victims, and bystanders who only watched as the horror unfolded. State of Fear takes place in Peru, yet serves as a cautionary tale for a world engaged in a “global war on terror”. ![]()
