This poetic memoir is a love letter that speaks of introspection and what it means to rediscover who you are and cherish where you come from.
"Künü" (dir. Francisco Huichaqueo, 2022)
Mapuche and Chileans have always been in conflict. So how will they live together? First, by getting to know each other. Once the field is leveled, a conversation can begin. This film presents a crisp portrait of the process behind an architectural structure that aims to start a conversation.
