Product Description Deep in the heart of Chile\'s Patagonia region flow two of the world\'s purest rivers, the Baker and Pascua. Fed by vast glacial systems, these untouched rivers drive biodiversity in rainforests, estuaries and marine ecosystems. They are also the life source for Patagonia\'s most tenacious residents: The Gauchos, the iconic South American cowboys who endure relentless winds and long winters on remote ranches in these river valleys. Now, five huge hydroelectric dams are planned for the two rivers. Promoted as "clean" energy, damming these major rivers would make floodplains out of river valleys, force ranchers off their land and wreak havoc on the massive ice fields and watersheds already under stress from global warming. Over the past century more than 45,000 large dams have altered the health of the planet\'s rivers with disastrous impacts that continue to unfold. This award-winning documentary captures the heated battle between those who wish to exploit the rivers, and those who wish to preserve the rivers and their surrounding lands, and as well the traditional lifestyle of it\'s inhabitants. Juxtaposing the pro-dam business sector with renewable energy experts, Patagonia Rising brings awareness - and solutions - to this global conflict over water and power. Review Intelligent. Weighs the environmental and cultural impact of five massive hydroelectric dams proposed for Chile\'s Patagonia region....Awe-inspiring footage of spectacular lands at South America\'s southernmost tip introduce the gauchos, loggers and other residents whose ways of life have barely changed over centuries, particularly since no roads or power lines connect many ranches. --Dennis Harvey, Variety Beautifully filmed and patiently explained...breathtaking landscape shots honor a way of life in imminent danger of being, quite literally, swept away. --Jeannette Catsoulis, The New York Times Excellent. An intelligent, passionate and cogent scientific argument against damming the rivers. \'Patagonia Rising\' echoes the call of Occupy Wall Street...and leads us to one startling conclusion-- that dams are nothing more than international investment opportunities for the rich. --Marcia Garcia, Film Journal
