Waqaynan - The Tinku is a controversial
and violent ritual that divides the Quechua
community of Piruani. Some of the natives
believe this celebration goes against their
Christian beliefs and prosperity. Others
believe in the deep cultural tradition that
celebrates nature through personal sacrifice.
The blood in the Tinku is a sublime act.

Ariel Soto has produced, written and
directed independent films covering a
variety of cultural and social subjects. His
work has been screened in international
