WasteOfTheDay: US Funding Peru’s Film Industry for $25K

Among Peru’s many problems with violence, human rights violations, and threats to freedom of expression, is an issue that the U.S. apparently feels is grave enough to fight: the lack of women in Peru’s film industry.

The U.S. Mission to Peru is giving $25,000 to “support women in the film industry in Peru, given the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic to the film sector and the cultural industry in general.”
