The president of Peru is considering signing a bill that would grant amnesty to people accused of crimes during a period of violence in the 1980s and '90s. More than 70,000 people were killed during a government campaign against two rebel groups. Human rights activists are concerned the bill will stop the progress Peru has made in seeking accountability. Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with historian Charles Walker in Peru about what this all means.
