PLOT
The State supported the initiative of the Provincial Vicariate of Ucayali, of the Franciscan Order, to produce *The Conquest of the Jungle*, a feature film intended to showcase abroad—especially at the Seville Exposition—the progress of Franciscan teaching in the Peruvian Amazon region. The deputy for Ucayali, Navy Captain Abraham A. de Rivero, sponsored the film's production, along with the Apostolic Vicar of Ucayali, Monsignor Francisco Irasola, and the Very Reverend Father Buenaventura Uriarte, Provincial of the Discalced Friars. The project had the endorsement of the President of the Republic, Augusto B. Leguía.
