Hatun Phaqcha, the Healing Land

(Hatun Phaqcha, Tierra Santa)
Delia Ackerman | Documentary

2021 | 92 minutes | Peru

Exploring Peru’s superfoods, their cultural and nutritional significance, and the threats of monoculture, climate change, and evolving dietary habits.

Synopsis

Peru stands as the cradle of numerous highly nutritious products celebrated globally as 'superfoods.' Despite its profound agricultural and cultural legacy, contemporary Peru grapples with elevated rates of malnutrition and dietary patterns that often neglect these indigenous crops.

The ancient inhabitants of Peru demonstrated remarkable prowess in domesticating and cultivating a diverse array of nutritious crops, facilitated by the country's unparalleled spectrum of climates and ecosystems.

Hatun Phaqcha, The Healing Land underscores the critical significance of preserving and responsibly stewarding these foods. It provokes contemplation on the region's susceptibility amidst pressures from a monoculture-driven market and the looming specter of climate change.
