Inacayal
Argentina / Chubut / 2011 / 64 min / Documentary / Original HD format
Synopsis
This documentary tells the tale of Cacique Modesto Inacayal, a huiliche warrior and repressed hero of Patagonia who ended his days in the Museo de la Plata, where he was taken along with his entire family. His remains were returned to the Tecka Valley in 1994, but in 2006 a group of university researchers discovered that some belonging to him and his family are still in the museum.
Through the voices of the descendants of the Tehuelche Mapuche Communities in Chubut and the thoughts of notable intellectuals and researchers (such as Osvaldo Bayer, Walter Delrio, Marcelo Valko and the GUIAS - Higher Academic Social Anthropology Research Group - Collective), this film seeks to throw light on a story that has been erased from official narratives.
Inacayal, Inacayal, a film that explores our identity.
