“To see the suffering of poor people, who live in one of the Latin-American countries with the most opportunities, was something that we never expect to see, nevertheless, as this situation continues deteriorating, it encourages us to continue showing the documentary, to describe the way Chile and international interests exploit the sea to feed salmon (which is not a fish of Latinamerican origin).
