Peru: Hidden Treasure succeeds in shifting the focus away from Western-centric documentaries by emphasizing the indigenous and multi-ethnic history of the nation. Its focus on thousand-year-old traditions provides a strong platform for racial and ethnic representation. However, the film remains a traditional observational documentary. It lacks explicit social commentary regarding identity-driven narratives, such as LGBTQ+ representation or the subversion of gendered power structures. Ultimately, the work excels at celebrating ancestral heritage and natural riches but functions more as a cultural survey than a tool for social critique.
