'The Settlers' depicts genocide of Chile's Indigenous people

 

Chilean director Felipe Galvez's feature film debut, "The Settlers," or "Los colonos" in Spanish, tells a brutal story. Set in 1893, it follows three horsemen on an expedition in Chile's southernmost region, the Patagonian archipelago of Tierra del Fuego. The three men, a young Chilean native, an American mercenary, and a reckless British lieutenant, are hired by a wealthy landowner to delimit and reclaim the land that the state has given him.
