In the Cordillera of the Andes, amidst a chain of volcanic peaks, Mapuche communities are taking a stand to defend their river - a source of life and spirituality – from yet another crime against nature. Norwegian company SN Power plans to build a hydroelectric power station, taking the water of 9 main rivers, right in the middle of the Williche-Mapuche region, threatening the future of local indigenous communities.
