Come and learn how a 5000-year old culture is still alive and resisting by embracing the ways they interact with their surroundings and pairs, encompassing ancestral views that could provide perspective and answers to current societies' issues.
"Ragko, Untamed Territory" is an independent documentary that presents a contemporary vision of the Mapuche Culture, an ancient society that has never been defeated since colonialism arrived in South America, but that currently fights against the violent acts and injustices perpetrated by the governments of Chile and Argentina, along with the destruction of their ecosystem at the hands of the private industrial sector.
This documentary is an effort to write history from the Mapuche perspective, do justice to their culture, show the respect they deserve and, thanks to their shared wisdom, hopefully change the future of our relationship with nature, our societies, and the spiritual world.
NOTA; a Q&A will follow the screening with Lonko Juanita Millal and director Javier Tavolari
Lonko Juanita Millal has dedicated her life to uplift Mapuche culture, protect the land, waters and the people, creating solidarity among marginalized communities and bringing awareness of the Mapuche peoples’ present day fight against colonization, displacement, incarceration and violent repression.
Javier Tavolari is a Chilean Artivist. Dedicated to the Mapuche cause, he finds in San Francisco the people and the spaces to make KIÑE, our first episode. This process is crucial due to intricacy of speaking about the Mapuche struggle in Chile, a country that calls them terrorists.
