New acquisition: the social/environmental doco “TRANSHUMANCE”

We are privileged to represent this important social documentary from award-winning Argentinean director Maria Bagnat.

The transhumance is the cyclical moving and herding of animals to the pastures of the high mountains in the summer and down to the slopes of the mountain range in the wintering grounds. Today, the migratory stockbreeders between Argentina and Chile, both native Mapuche Indians and criollos, are facing the proliferation of private property and the discovery of hydrocarbons in the area that are risking their livelihoods and ancestral lifestyle.
