Acclaimed filmmaker Francisco J. Lombardi delivers his most ambitious project to date with the political psychodrama “What the Eye Doesn’t See”. Set in the final days of Alberto Fujimori’s presidency in Peru, the film explores the corruption plaguing many Latin American governments as seen through the eyes of everyday people. The film focuses on the scandal caused by the release of the infamous ‘Vladi videos’ - hidden camera tapes of presidential advisor Vladimiro Montesino’s blackmailing high-level government officials - which eventually led to the end of Fujimori’s presidency. But rather than recreate true stories, Lombardi uses a colourful array of fictional characters to show the ramifications of dishonest government on individual lives. Six interweaving stories give us a picture of Peru’s social reality as its citizens attempt to cope during a critical juncture in their history.
