Sepa: Our Lord of Miracles
horizontal line

[Opens Oct. 14 in theaters.] Terrific cinematography and music highlights Walter Saxer's captivating, informative, insightful, ire-inducing, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, 77-minute, 1986 documentary narrated by Mario Vargas Llosa and examines the corrupt, bureaucratic, irresponsible, red tape prone Peruvian prison system and the isolated, experimental, 37,000-hectare Sepa open-air penal colony, which is run by prison director Don Elias, that was constructed in 1951 in the Amazonian jungle of Peru on the Sepa River where inmates became despondent even though they were not incarcerated in prison cells, were allowed family visits, and grew crops (such as beans, cassava, and bananas) and consists of commentary by inmates who are often "invisible".
