TAKANAKUY and TINKU VIDEO - Takanakuy - “when the blood is boiling” in Quechua - is an annual celebration giving people the chance to solve personal differences with other community members the old fashioned way, through violence. Yearly festivals - in parts of interior Peru and Bolivia - are an indigenous tradition that has a lot to do with family honor, reputation and distrust in the judiciary system. Takanakuy is viewed as a way to put problems behind before the New Year. The events feature parades, dancing, drinking, and quite aggressive fighting - men, women, and children too. Serious injuries are claimed to be rare, but there is some blood. Societies have always archetypically embraced violent games and challenges, and this is the form it takes at this time and place. In highly developed countries like the US, violence forms are made to appear more civil and are often mechanized, intermediated, and monetized.

Ecuador Andes steam railway - In 1983 the BBC made a series on rail travel - "Great Little Railways" - which exclusively featured narrow gauge railways. The series relied on narrators rather than presenters who appeared on camera. The episodes are thoughtful, observant, and beautifully crafted. "The Good and The Quick" is the final series episode and chronicles an at times harrowing 280 mile journey into the Ecuadorian Andes by steam train and auto ferro from Guayaquil at sea level to Quito at 2850 m/9350 ft elevation. This railway is 1.1 m/42" gauge and traverses some very steep and narrow situations.
