THE RIVER THAT FLOWS THROUGH US- El Rio Que Nos Atraviesa- San Francisco Latino Film Festival
THE RIVER THAT FLOWS THROUGH US- El Rio Que Nos Atraviesa
Director: Manuela Blanco
Venezuela, 2014
71 min
Spanish with English subtitles
USA Premiere
A documentary in which the filmmaker looks to record and question changes brought on by the oil exploration in a place which has been a source of life for thousands of years: The Orinoco River. The Orinoco Magna Reserve Project may very well bring great benefits to Venezuela, a growing country, but is it really worth it to contaminate this river that has given us so many things, including all that is important to the indigenous people?

El río que nos atraviesa, es un documental autoreflexivo en el que busco registrar y cuestionar una realidad que será transformada por la explotación petrolera, allí donde desde épocas ancestrales se ha generado vida: El Río Orinoco, esto me produce un conflicto, si pienso en todos los beneficios que traerá el Proyecto Orinoco Magna a Venezuela como país en crecimiento, pero ¿realmente vale la pena contaminar este río que nos ha dado tantas cosas, reservorio de la memoria milenaria de nuestros pueblos indígenas?
