In the mountains in the south of Chile, the multinational enterprise Endesa is developing the “Ralco” project, building a gigantic dam that will stop the flow of the Bio-Bio River, and flood the land where the native Pehuenche community, Ralco Lepoy have lived for centuries. The company is opposed from the start by strong resistance of a small group of elderly Pehuenche women. Their leader is 88- year old Berta Quintremán.
