In summer 2015, Sargent undergraduate and graduate students embarked on a service learning trip to Peru. At an altitude of 11,000 feet, they experienced firsthand the traditional Andean way of life, from a remote farming village to the Inca capital [...]of Cusco.
Supervised by Sargent faculty, students had the opportunity to see health care at work in a developing country; they learned about traditional medicine and visited rural community clinics, as well as public and privately funded hospitals.

After a long night out with the students in Lima, we boarded an early flight to Cusco, Peru, and eventually reconvened for lunch, which is where these shots begin. High altitude and fatigue left me quite winded as I tried to run around with the [...]heavy mini35 HVX200 rig.
The students would do this touring stuff around more ruins for one more day, but the crew and I got to follow the students around for this last day together. I don't think the students enjoyed much of what the tour guide had to offer.
Except for what you'll see in Bruna Maia's video profile, most of this footage is scrappy (out of focus and shaky) and would've never otherwise been used. Additionally, I apologize for the poor music edits I did to chop down the band's song to two minutes. Enjoy?!
