Rebellions, "Terrorism and Counterterrorism in Peru"

Rebellions episode one focuses on the internal conflict in Peru from the 1980s to the 2000s. Primarily, it investigates the role of the Shining Path or Sendero Luminoso, a Maoist guerilla group who, though preaching a gospel of liberation, ended up killing the people they claimed to be fighting for. Shining Path's transformation from communist movement to death cult is a fascinating story of politics, violence and the dangerous aftermath of when idealism falters.Vivian Kelleher-- Producer, recordist, editor, writer, hostXenophon Spencer-- Editor, writer, hostAleksandar Djordjevic-- Writer, host, logo designer
