Two New Yorkers raised in different worlds ‹ an immigrant from the Andes, a modern dancer from Queens ‹ journey to Peru to reconnect with roots and an astonishing world of traditional dance and culture. Nélida Silva returns to her birthplace in the Andes to fulfill a dream and host the fiesta patronal ‹ a week-long celebration honoring the town©ˆs patron saint. But Neli's changed, and so has the village.Meanwhile, Cynthia Paniagua, a dancer raised by a Peruvian mom, embarks on her own Peruvian journey after meeting Neli ‹ determined to 'quench a burning desire to know the real Peru, to unearth the mystery of the dances.'Soy Andina is an exuberant cross-cultural road trip that touches a universal theme: a yearning for roots and community.See website for more details http://www.latinofilmfestival.org.
