The Journey “Extractivism: Operations and Practices” gives an impression of the Valdivia Garden. The San Pedro River is located in the Los Lagos commune, Province of Valdivia, in the Los Rios Region, in southern Chile. It drains water from Lake Riñihue, the last of the “Seven Lakes”, and flows into the Calle-Calle River, which in turn flows into the Valdivia River that reaches Corral Bay, emptying into the Pacific Ocean. “San Pedro River, A Landscape in Resistance”, is a documentary that reconstructs the history of this river, also rescues “the feat of the Riñihuazo“, but above all it vindicates the fight against the Matte family’s dam project.
