Learning on ScreenNostalgia for the Light
- Synopsis
- A documentary drama by Patricio Guzman on the high altitude desert in Chile called Atacama. Atacama is highly significant to archaeologists for preserving the oldest known mummies in the world, and for being the perilous trade route used by the Inca and Tiwanaku civilisations. The film presents the meaning of the Atacama, from billions of years ago as seen from astronomical observatories to the tragic legacy of Pinochet regime’s massacres.
