An eleven year old boy slides atop a sloping tin roof hoping to get a birds eye view inside a school yard plaza below where fiery speakers are exhorting thousands of cheering, banner-waving labor protestors.? Soldiers quickly set up machine gun emplacements at the four entrances to the plaza. "Fire!" one of the soldiers shouts.? The jubilation immediately turns to frightful screams and anguish as a hale of machine gun fire rip through thousands of defenseless people until the voices of thirty-six hundred men women and children become forever silenced.? The terrified boy flattened himself against the roof and watched in horror as soldiers cut off the fingers and ears of the dead to collect their jewelry. Where Condors Fly is the fascinating real-life story of a spirited young man named Cecilio Mercado, the son of a beautiful Bolivian mestiza Indian, growing up in the driest place on earth - the Atacama Desert of northern Chile.? Tough, sensitive, courageous and humorous, Cecilio overcomes poverty, child abuse, and the dangers of living in a lawless region to become a living legend.? Where Condors Fly recounts Cecilio's non-stop adventures in Chile, Bolivia, the United States and Venezuela.? This is a genuine success story.
