Apaga y Vámonos plot

"A tale about a usurped nation, about a forgotten genocide, about globalization, about one river."

In recent centuries, the Mapuche Indians have been the victims of successive violent invasions into Chile. In 2004, the Spanish multinational Endesa dealt them the fatal blow by expropriating their land: the banks of the Biobio River were flooded to build a dam. The legitimate resistance of the Mapuches even leads to a conviction for terrorism.
