Apus Peru and Threads of Peru facilitated the filming of a documentary, Wild Shepherdess (Indus Films). It features Kate Humble and was screened on the BBC in 2012 and 2013. The episode was filmed in the high Andean communities, including the village of Chaullacocha, where Threads of Peru works, and focuses on the alpaca industry and the lives of indigenous communities. Such efforts bring much-needed international attention to Quechua cultures.
