Alas de Mar

In the era of the white gold, three men dreamed of turning Antofagasta into the Hollywood of South America. In 1927, of the nine Chilean films produced, six were from Antofagasta.

At the end of the 19th century, four groups of indigenous people were taken from Chile by a German businessman and were shown as animals in different fairs and public exhibitions in several Europeans cities including Berlin, Leipzig, and symbolic places such as the area surrounding the Eiffel Tower.
