Prime Minister Of Peru

History Of Peru
The history of Peru spans 10 millennia, extending back through several stages of cultural development along the country's desert coastline and in the Andes mountains. Peru's coast was home to the Norte Chico civilization, the oldest civilization in the Americas and one of the six cradles of civilization in the world.

On 24 December 2017, the President of Peru, Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, pardoned jailed ex-president Alberto Fujimori. Because the pardon was granted on Christmas Eve, it became known as the "''indulto de Navidad''" ("Christmas pardon").

Cinema Of Peru
While the Peruvian film industry has not been nearly as prolific as that of some other Latin American countries, such as Mexico or Argentina, some Peruvian movies produced enjoyed regional success. Historically, the cinema of Peru began in Iquitos in 1932 by Antonio Wong Rengifo (with a momentous, initial film billboard from 1900) because of the rubber boom and the intense arrival of foreigners with technology to the city, and thus continued an extensive, unique filmography, with a different style than the films made in the capital, Lima. In Lima, the first Peruvian sound film (with synchronized music and some talking sequences) was Alberto Santana's '' Resaca'', which was released in 1934. This was followed by another sound film entitled ''Cosas de la vida'' in 1934. The first all-talking picture, ''Buscando Olvido'', was finally released in 1936. More recently some bestselling novels by Peruvian author and talk show host Jaime Bayly, including ''No se lo Digas a Nadie'' a ...
