An Andean migrant family travels from Maryland, U.S., to their hometown Cabanaconde, Peru, to celebrate the annual patron saint fiesta they first sponsored two decades earlier. The film explores cultural change and continuity in the indigenous Andean community, fiesta, and migrant colony, first documented in film Transnational Fiesta: 1992. It follows a migrant family back and forth between the U.S. and Peru over a period of three years, as they travel to celebrate the patron saint fiesta in Cabanaconde, and also participate in the diaspora version of the fiesta in Maryland. Our sequel shows in vivid detail the remarkable persistence of Andean culture over time and space, as well as the ruptures imposed by global capitalism, generational differences, and other forces of change.
