Lucciole per lanterne
In 1981 Pinochet privatizes nearly all of Chile’s water resources.
Over the next thirty years, water usage rights are surrendered to national and multinational firms interested in producing hydroelectric energy.
Today the HidroAysén project threatens the Chilean Patagonia, preventing the construction of five large dams on the Pascua and Baker Rivers. The film, moving between past and present, retraces these events through the story of three women who try to resist the hydroelectric giant that stands to trample their land.
