La teta asustada / The Milk of Sorrow

This Oscar-nominated Best Foreign Language Film explores the psychological trauma of war in Andean women, particularly one young girl, in modern-day Peru. Fausta has a mythical disease called the milk of sorrow, passed down through her mother's breast milk, that afflicts the daughters of Peruvian women who were raped by military and paramilitary forces. Rape was a weapon of war against the Sendero Luminoso and their Andean supporters from 1980 and 1992.
