Reception Critical reception Jorge Millones from Daniel Mathews' blog from LaMula.pe, says: "Gloria del Pacífico is an uncomfortable and necessary film...

Oganes is now involved in an adventure of similar dimensions: telling the story of the War of the Pacific, which he faced at the end of the 19th century to the nations of Chile, Bolivia and Peru.
