"La segunda   conquista" (The Second Conquest) is a 68 mintue independent documentary. 

It exposes the web of corruption and greed of multi-nationals, Government officials and business people. As well as communicating the less documented stories of the courageous and resilient indigenous Mapuche and non-indigenous families and communities of Patagonia, Argentina. 

The funds raised in showcasing and distributing
"La segunda conquista" will be used to assist in their ongoing legal battles and basic necessities of reclaiming the land that has fallen prey to pillagers of all kinds, and returning to the land.

                      -The people of the land-

Filmed about an issue in Patagonia, Argentina, this story actually resonates worldwide.  It has become increasingly inaccessible and expensive to have somewhere to live and work the land, constantly increasing dependence upon an unsustainable global economic system.
