The sun rises from the ground (2019)

Original title: “Amanecer en mi tierra”

The sun rises from the ground– Lihuntun Inchin Mapu documents the case of the Intercultural Neighborhood (“Barrio Intercultural”). A joint collaboration between Neighbors For a Home Association “Vecinos Sin Techo”, and the indigenous organization Lof Mapuche Curruhuinca, a national law was passed allowing for the recovery of lands that were previously under the administration of the Armed Forces. The community was given 400 hectares of joint property on which 250 homes are being built, reaching new levels of organization and dignity. The event transpires in San Martín de los Andes, a city that’s highly prized by tourism infrastructure development companies due to the beauty of its landscapes and its mountain sports, where public use of natural resources like streams, forest land, the lake and snowy areas is increasingly restricted.
