INVEST IN CURFEW
An award-winning international political thriller about journalism, truth, and the cost of exposing power.
A feature film from Nazca Films, developed as an international co-production.
Why Curfew Now
Curfew is set in Peru during a period of political violence, fear, and institutional secrecy—but the questions at its center are unmistakably contemporary.
What happens when truth becomes dangerous? What happens when journalists, governments, and citizens are forced to navigate competing versions of reality?
The film uses the urgency of a political thriller to explore the cost of journalism, the manipulation of information, and the consequences of silence.
At a moment when trust in institutions and the press is under pressure around the world, Curfew offers a story rooted in a specific history with broader international resonance.
“TRUTH IS NOT ABSTRACT IN CURFEW. IT HAS CONSEQUENCES.”

KEY CREATIVE
