Descendants of the Sea, Ep. 02 - The Last Shelter

View on the Pragda STREAM site

For a long time, geography and limited access have kept a territory in northern Chile isolated, a territory inhabited by fishermen since the time of the ancient Changos. This place is steeped in symbolism and rock art, making these men the natural heirs of a culture that remains alive in their way of working and living in this land.

Series Description
A six-part documentary series that shows how the culture of the Chango people, considered extinct until a couple of years ago, is still deeply rooted among many artisanal fishermen who live in the coastal territory of northern Chile.
