180°以南 180° South (2010) Movie Script

And for me, to get to see that, he's an example that many people should follow.

The solution, I think, it's in all of us, and I learned that in the South with Douglas.

In a way, I saw the future of Rapa Nui too.

Here we are, you know, we're germinating from seeds of different species.

First of all, we're just doing general restoration work and reforestation.

Here we have "Alerce", they are from Lago Negro, and have different places.

Since you can't find these species in regular nurseries in any numbers, we realized that we had to start our own tree nursery.

During the Pinochet era, Chile awarded the rights, the water rights, to the majority of their rivers to private enterprises.

Something that you would find in almost no other country.

And the result of that is that the Spanish energy company Endesa, they have been rather methodically going through and establishing energy projects in the form of dams on rivers throughout Chile.

I saw what Kris was talking about up north on the Bio-Bio river.

This was once a fully functioning ecosystem where the river, forests and people depended on one another.

Juan Pablo says these dam projects are a symptom, but he also says the true cause of the problem is the development model.

I'm thinking of those looming high-rises in Santiago, all lit up.

I am thinking of Ramon and his talk about the price tag of progress.

I read that the American video game habit annually consumes as much power as the entire city of San Diego.

So I'm also thinking about all those little things that add-up to keep us comfortable or just amused.

And I'm beginning to see the real consequences.

Better late than never, Timmy O'Neill always comes through and today, 2 days before we set-off to Corcovado, he has arrived fresh from another long stand of ice climbing in running rivers.

All in here, you know, there are big mountains, beaches and so forth.

I'd say not as much up in here, and especially there, is where you get the most exposed and there's kind of the open ocean out of there, and you get this swells that are kind of unimpeded, they're coming in there and they hit right in this area here.

And if you got a boat, you can, depending on what kind of weather you have, hopefully, you get some kind of storm, you get some storm swells.

You've ever been in this area in here ?

Yeah ! You wanna just trickle on here, and you go comparatively fast up the gully and then you'll get slow down as it starts into the... Doug is the only person who's ever stood on top of Corcovado.

In the early 1990s, he and a friend set off to do the first ascent, it took him 3 long days just to get to the base.
