This movie is quite difficult to find (physically or online) these days. It is a Peruvian film from 2003. Special thanks to www.vizyonfilmizle.tv for providing this copy.
Juan, a young man convicted of terrorism, is given amnesty from a Lima
prison; he boards a bus to return home and, in his mind's eye, recalls
events in his village near Huaraz when he was 10 or 12. His father is
long dead, his mother lives with Fermin, secretly a sympathizer with the
Communist guerrillas in the hills. Town leaders are assassinated at
night. When Juan discovers Fermin's secret, Juan is spirited away to the
guerrillas to learn Marxist slogans and how to fight. When the band
decides to attack the town to avenge the death of a comrade, Juan must
choose. There are no white hats on any side: critical thought without
love of life bears no fruit, writes Erich Fromm.

Decade of terror
I do not like most of the Peruvian films related to the terrorism of the 80's because they always leave the military in bad shape and until now the ronderos have not been vindicated.
