BLOOD OF THE CONDOR

Original British 18 inch x 24 inch Poster for the 1969 Jorge Sanjines Bolivian Drama BLOOD OF THE CONDOR (YAWAR MALLKU) starring Marcelino Yanahuaya, Benedicta Mendoza and Vicente Verneros Salinas.

Banned in Bolivia until violent protest forced its release, Blood of the Condor is one of the most controversial films ever produced in Latin America. Based on actual events, it tells of a U.S.-imposed population control program which sterilized Quechua women without their knowledge or consent. In recounting this incident, the film offers a fascinating look at the customs and religious rituals of the Quechuas as well as a window to life in the breathtaking Andes. Provides an accurate reflection of the predominant attitude of Latin Americans toward U.S. “aid” programs.

The poster is in fine unfolded (rolled) condition.
