Mapuches: El país de antaño

1993 · 28 min · Documentary

Featuring the Mapuche poet Elicura Chihuailaf, this is a poetic re-creation of the Mapuche territory that once stretched across southern Chile and Argentina, without borders. It explores Mapuche communities in Neuquén, Argentina, and Chilean Mapuches who have migrated to Neuquén. Elicura's journey through the land of yesteryear recreates the imagery that has shaped his poetic creation.
