Abstract
Visual evidence was crucial for the transitional process in Peru. The decade-long government of Alberto Fujimori ended after a media scandal involving the release of videos in which Vladimiro Montesinos, Fujimori’s chief advisor, was seen bribing politicians, judges, generals, businessmen, and owners of TV stations.1 The revelation of the extent and depth of the government’s corruption and its direct involvement in human rights violations led to the fall of Fujimori and Montesinos and to the formation of an interim government presided by Valentín Paniagua.
