“The Mysteries of the Andes” series embarks on a groundbreaking endeavor, aiming to achieve what has never been accomplished before: a comprehensive documentation of the stories of Andean and Amazonian communities, all narrated in the authentic voices of the communities themselves.
We invite you to partake in this journey through three feature-length film documentaries, with a fourth one on the horizon. Join us in understanding the wisdom of these remarkable communities, as they share their stories in their own words.
The core mission the Mysteries of the Andes is to share the existence, historical narratives, and cultural heritage of highland Andean and Amazonian communities via cinematic storytelling, offering insights into their diverse lifestyles and contributions and message to the world. Moreover, it advocates the potent impact of communication and cinematography in raising awareness about Indigenous cultures.
We at the Ayni Institute are thrilled to announce the launch of an international tour of the Mysteries of the Andes Series, a captivating documentary collection that delves into the rich tapestry of Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and practices across Latin America.
