Switch Off (Apaga y Vámanos)
Spain/Chile, 2005: 87 min
Director: Manel Mayol
This powerful documentary chronicles the battle of Chile’s Pehuenche-Mapuche people against the wealthy Spanish-Latin American hydroelectric corporation ENDESA. After hundreds of years of successfully seeing off all invaders – from Incas to conquistadores – these mountain dwellers who live above the Bíobío river are losing their homes, villages and past to a giant hyrdro-electric dam that floods their lands.
