This movie sounds to me like one that is very
appropriate for Greens. It speaks to so many of the
issues we care about.

Rio Arriba
Argentina - 78 minutes
A personal, reflective journey of history,
self-discovery and recovery. Filmmaker Ulises de la
Orden explores the economic, cultural political impact
of European focused monoculture on the land and people
of the Andean hillsides of Argentina. De la Ordens
grandfather was a manager at a sugar mill that hired
Indigenous labourers. He begins by asking what land
and lifestyle did the labourers leave in order to work
at the mill? Travelling by plane, train, bus, foot and
donkey upstream he searches for the answers. Truth and
testimony survive atop the Andean steppes. The
indigenous descendents of the original mill workers
relate stories of land theft, forced labour and
cultural loss. Beautifully shot and rhythmically
edited with a reflective narrative that measures the
loss of habitable, sustainable culture against the
material gains of a colossal capital expansion.
