What's it About

"La Segunda Conquista" (The Second Conquest) is an independent, self funded documentary by Denali DeGraf and Joao Dujon Pereira (an Argentinian/Australian collaboration)

"La Segunda Conquista" has documented first hand accounts of indigenous and non-indigenous families and communities in Patagonia, Argentina.  It is a portrait of their ongoing campaign to save their homes, defend their human rights, and protect the environment.

The purpose of "La Segunda Conquista" is to expose the web of corruption and greed as well as communicating the less documented stories of these courageous and resilient people.  The funds raised in show casing and distributing "La Segunda Conquista" will be used to assist in their ongoing legal battles and basic necessities of reclaiming the land that has fallen prey to pillagers of all kinds, and returning to live upon it.
