We face same problems across the globe too. That is the haves n the havenot.

      Traveling from Santiago to Andes or to the coast has stunning views. La Serena in the North is great and the Atacama desert is in my top 3 of places I've been! Then there is the south: Pucon, Puerto Montt, Chiloé...still the best part is also missing in my mind: Patagonia. So, yes: if you haven't been to Chile, it's never too late :)

    There should be more focus on urban poverty in Santiago. I lived in Chile for 8 years. My daughter was born there. I worked at a mine in Antofagasta and lived in Santiago.
    The issue of water inequality in the north is dwarfed by the income inequality in the capital. Since Santiago has more people than the rest of the country put together, its story is vital to understanding poverty in Chile.

    Some wealthy individuals from Latin America appear to misunderstand the context of this German channel.

It could have been an affluent family from Colombia, Peru, Argentina. They are all the same.

      They are the white supremacist minority who have ties to US and Europe and who possess territory and control the economy. The European descendants of Chile came during a whitening phase in the 19th and 20th century that invited immigration from Germanic and Nordic ethnic Europeans to settle in Chile in a land grab to displace and replace the native population. They were given free land and full immunity to displace and murder natives. This was the same case in Paraguay, Argentina, and Uruguay hence why they have historical ties to Germany and feel like German settlers more than natives of South America. Chile is also a white supremacist, Zionist apartheid state.

For all the Western environmentalists who are sure to complain about the environmental damage caused by these mines, consider this: The vast majority of this copper will be exported to North America, Europe, and Asia. A lot of the exported copper will be used in so-called renewable energy technologies. Everything has a cost and consequences.

    That is paying for everyone. Not just for those in the city. It is paying salaries, royalties and taxes that benefit the whole country. Shutting down mining is not the answer. Changing mining practices and waste management. That is the ticket. Copper output out of Chile is steadily decreasing, however. As the worlds largest producer, that is bad news for Chile and for the rest of the world. Since the dawn of humankind, it is estimated that humans extracted 700 million metric tons of copper. It is estimated that with all the decarbonization policies, EVs, Solar Panels, Eolic Turbines, electrification of African communities, etc humanity will require 1.5 billion metric tons to achieve that goal by 2050. To me it seems an unsurmountable challenge. We'll see.

      Chilean's case is a different kind of meritocracy. This was an intent and establishment of an apartheid state. The ideology of Pinochet's fascism dated from 19th century Chile's blancamiento or whitening policies that occurred across South America when mass immigration from Europe came to settle in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil for free land in exchange to expand settlements, displace natives, given full immunity with murdering natives. The Guacho tradition that you see in this video is a result of this history.

    They can easily use the tires for Earth shipping, as well as stuff the textile waste in the tires and compact it with the sand and dirt from the dunes. This would create walls and rammed earth structres to begin creating the fondayions for villages/villas, and then grow weeds, feed goats, regenerate the local ecosystems, and most immportantly, SAVE WATER.

    The fact that both sides don’t seem to connect on the issue is weird but unsurprising. They don’t want you coming around because you want to make a profit off their garbage. But they could sell it to the secondhand people, but then they’re missing out on the profit. So they dump it in the desert. But if you sell the secondhand all the scrap materials and garbage, and they make a profit, then it might possibly make the secondhand more popular which means we tilt away from the first hand or higher quality, which means we don’t make the garbage that gets sold to second hand that they’re desperately seeking.

    While it's true that the water crisis particularly affects rural and marginalized communities, it’s misleading to present it as uniformly split along ethnic lines. The issue goes deeper when we consider how narratives about Latin America are often crafted. The videography in this documentary reinforces a tired, reductive portrayal of Chile-depicting it as an underdeveloped society rather than the vibrant, modern country it is. The filmmakers chose to focus on hardship and conflict, recycling the same outdated imagery of poverty and division. Meanwhile, they conveniently ignore Chile’s magnificent achievements-its advances in technology, its flourishing arts scene, and its dynamic urban culture.
    This type of portrayal is all too common. In the U.S. and other parts of the world, there’s a pattern of showcasing Latin American countries as places of poverty and ignorance, pitting Indigenous communities against the descendants of European colonizers time and again. It creates a convenient platform for viewers to feel a sense of superiority and to perpetuate stereotypes, rather than understanding the complexities and richness of these nations. Chile is not defined by poverty or conflict-it is a country full of resilience, cultural diversity, and progress, and it's high time documentaries reflect that truth.
