In 1911, Hiram Bingham made the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu. During his expeditions, he collected archaeological material that he took to Yale University for study on loan. However, as 2011 approached—the centennial of the Inca city of Machu Picchu's unveiling to the world—these artifacts were still in the United States with no prospect of returning. This short documentary reveals some of the negotiations that, after nearly a century, finally brought these valuable and significant finds back to Peru during the second term of President Alan García.
