Grompes, Curumi and The Papaya Girl (Spanish: Grompes, Curumí y la niña de la papaya) is a 2023 Peruvian documentary film written, edited, narrated, filmed and directed by Fernando Valdivia.

[1] It follows the 1997 expedition to Purús in search of "The Papaya girl", the protagonist of the 1986 photo by photographer Lily Saldaña that became popular in newspapers, magazines and calendars.

[2] After 25 years, ancient images that intertwine the lives of a lost indigenous girl, an old Huni Kuin healer and a Chitonahua native who abandoned the nomadic life return to the distant jungles of Purús.

The past returns to confront a present in which they continue fighting to survive in the midst of isolation and marginalization, where the forest is their main ally.
