Summary:
In Patagonia’s Film “Corazón Salado”, surfer and environmental activist Ramón Navarro joins the Kawésqar people, an indigenous community stripped of their nomadic tradition during the colonisation of Patagonia, in the struggle to protect their ancestral territory and waters. The salmon industry, which penetrates deeper and deeper into the region, pollutes and destroys this delicate ecosystem. On this journey, Navarro connects with Leticia Caro and her father, don Reinaldo, members of the Kawésqar community “Grupos Familiares Nómades del Mar”, who reveal the harmful effects of salmon farming and the urgency to convert the waters of the current Kawésqar National Reserve into a National Park. As they navigate, they will find common ground in their love for the sea. Let’s protect the Kawésqar territory forever.
