Week 3: Road Films

CHE
Even though we are too insignificant to be
spokesmen for such a noble cause, we believe, and
this journey has only confirmed this belief, that the
division of American into unstable and illusory nations is
a complete fiction. We are one single mestizo race from
Mexico to the Magellan Straits. And so, in an attempt to
free ourselvesfrom narrow minded provincialism, I
propose a toast to Peru and to a united America.
