Power in the Pristine

Some­times less is more.

Patag­o­nia is one of the few places on the planet with untouched and undis­cov­ered cor­ners still remain­ing. Yet, at this very moment, its rivers and wild­lands are under attack. Big busi­ness seeks to choke two of the region’s most pris­tine rivers with mega-dams and plans to dec­i­mate unique for­est ecosys­tems to build the longest power line in the world. Fol­low Team Rios Libres led by pro­fes­sional ath­lete, Timmy O’Neill and lumi­nary writer, Craig Childs as they immerse them­selves into this remote region. Find out what they dis­cover on their jour­ney from the source of the Baker River to the sea. Filled with inspir­ing imagery, com­pelling inter­views and a bit of adven­ture, you’ll gain an under­stand­ing of how this huge hydro­elec­tric scheme would for­ever change the face and char­ac­ter of the area and why we must act now to Keep Patag­o­nia Wild.  For more info: rioslibres.com.

I love this film because it inspires me to fol­low my pas­sions and reminds me that what’s impor­tant is the jouney, not the sum­mit or end goal. If you have not seen it, it’s avail­able via stream­ing on net­flix. Trailer below.
