Lost since 1987, the stunning documentary Sepa, Nuestro Señor de los milagros (Sepa: Our Lord of Miracles) observes an open-air penal colony, created in 1951 by the Peruvian government in the Amazonian jungle. The film is the sole directorial effort of Walter Saxer, best-known as the producer of Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Nosferatu (1979).
