RESURRECTION

Is paradise lost? Director Eugenio Polgovsky traces the toxic effects of industrialization on the natural world through the single stream of a family’s fight for survival. Fighting for the once-pristine waters of the Santiago River, the family attempt to resurrect a lost Eden, another way of life.
