This led to a group of films which provide an authentic and sensitive expression of the lives of the Quechua and Aymara Indian nations. Sanjines speaks about abandoning the individual protagonist and consciousness in his films in favour of a collective consciousness, the move from an urban to rural setting with a focus on the peasants and how his film screenings are always followed by a discussion to take them beyond pure entertainment to an educational dimension.
