El corazón del bañado

Overview

During the winter of 2019, five people undertook a 200 km journey in three canoes through one of the largest and most unknown wild spaces in Argentina. The Pilcomayo river and the La Estrella river, in western Formosa, became a colossal trap after their arms were lost in a labyrinth of mud, weeds, camalotes and cattails. The mission of making this territory known for the first time soon became an incessant struggle to survive. "El Corazón del Bañado" reconstructs what happened on that trip from the perspectives of the five protagonists: two biologists, a guide from the Pilagá ethnic group, a Creole guide and a documentary maker, the director of this film.
