This is the project that started it all for us as a production company. One that will always remain in our hearts as the seed that gave birth to Pachamama. At 3,300 m above sea level, in the Peruvian Andes, indigenous people have been harvesting salt by hand for over 600 years, before the Inca times. After many years of struggle and unfair working conditions, the salt workers became owners of the salt mine, creating a communal company. Today they proudly own and operate the salt business. Through the eyes of Laurita, a 65-year-old indigenous salt worker, this short film explores the cultural meaning that this place has for the people of Maras and how it is shaping the future of the next generations.
