Misión Kipi is a 2024 Peruvian documentary film directed, written and co-produced by Sonally Tuesta in her directorial debut.[1] [2] It follows Walter Velásquez and his creation, Kipi, a girl robot whose job is to help the children of Colcabamba continue their studies amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
During the pandemic, rural teacher Walter Velásquez, dedicated to science and technology for years, creates a robot from computer scrap and baptizes it with the name Kipi. Most of Walter's students left school due to COVID-19 pandemic and returned to their communities. Without connectivity or access due to dispersed population centers, Kipi becomes the teacher's assistant and accompanies the educational pilgrimage of its creator, bringing learning to homes and communities.[4]
It premiered on March 21, 2024, in Peruvian theaters.[5]
