与Ricardo Wullicher的《愚人船》,Jorge Sanjines的《听鸟儿的歌声》一样,都是南美印第安电影的代表作,以印第安原住民为主演,表现他们独特的人文风俗,自然和生存环境,以及他们与大城市欧洲白人移民文化之间的差异和碰撞。Many of the films dealt with Indigenous issues, such as Argentina's excellent production La Nave de los Locos (Ship of Fools) by Ricardo Wullicher, which won two prices, the OCIC Award, and the Popularity Award, and El Largo Viaje de Nahuel Pan (The Long Journey of Nahuel Pan) by Zuhair Jury, and Bolivia's Para Recibir el Canto de los Pajaros (To Receive the Birds' Songs), by Jorge Sanjines and with Geraldine Chaplin in the main role.
