Senda India, by Daniela Seggiaro

In 1991, the young Wichí man Miguel Ángel Lorenzo filmed with a Hi8 video camera. With humor and sensitivity, he recorded, along with his fellow community members, journeys through the forest, visits to neighboring houses, school events, archaeological investigations, and the visit of a judge, as part of the evidence for a legal case his community had been pursuing since 1986.  The film is constructed from these images and episodes, where the Indigenous protagonists convey to the white world the significance of the forest, the language, and community life as the fundamental foundations of their territorial claims.
