Documentary and docuseries production tells real stories through research-led filmmaking. It blends interviews, observational footage, archival material, and a clear narrative structure.

Historical Depth
On Location
Factual production across Peru's archives, Andean communities and Amazonian frontier
Documentary production in Peru draws on a deep research landscape. It reaches from the Archivo General de la Nación and the Biblioteca Nacional del Perú in Lima to the regional archives in Cusco, Arequipa and Trujillo. The Ministerio de Cultura collections govern Machu Picchu, Chan Chan, Caral and Kuelap, while the TV network libraries sit at TV Perú, Latina and América.
We support global documentary teams with fixers and researchers on the ground. They open access to academics at PUCP and Universidad de Lima, and broker interviews with cultural figures from the Llosa, Lombardi, Fuentes and León generation of today's cinema. Our fixers also arrange contributor access with Indigenous federations that represent Quechua, Aymara, Asháninka, Awajún and Shipibo communities. Crews scale from a solo verite shooter trailing artisanal gold miners in Madre de Dios to large ENG units for structured interviews in the capital's San Isidro and Miraflores office towers. Interpreters bridge Spanish, Quechua, Aymara and Amazonian languages throughout.
Subject sensitivity shapes how we work. Some projects touch the internal-conflict legacy, with its Shining Path history and Truth and Reconciliation Commission archives. Others cover illegal mining and deforestation, Indigenous land-rights cases like Máxima Acuña, post-Fujimori politics, or today's corruption checks. All of this needs trust that we build long before the camera arrives. Our team handles community liaisons in highland Apurímac, Ayacucho and Huancavelica, runs discreet crew setups where access depends on it, and applies the security and source-protection protocols that investigative work demands.
Production scales to fit the project. It can mean a theatrical feature in Heddy Honigmann's observational tradition, or a long-form docuseries for Netflix Latin America, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and TV Perú strands. Post planning covers editing at Lima facilities, archive clearance with the Ministerio de Cultura and the TV network libraries, and festival-grade finishing. We prepare premieres for Festival de the capital, Festival al Este, IDFA and the global circuit.
