Our take
Renowned for his books on London history, Iain Sinclair embarks on a new kind of journey in this time-hopping, continent-spanning travelogue. Confronting the thornier aspects of the writer’s family history in Peru, this expansive, clear-eyed documentary wrestles with the vestiges of imperialism.
