4 lonkos

This documentary tells the story of Mariano Rosas, Cipriano Catriel, and Juan Calfucurá, three prominent chiefs whose mortal remains were subjected to desecration under the guise of scientific study. Their skulls became part of the collections housed in Argentine anthropological museums, a reflection of a troubling history.

The film also highlights Vicente Pincén, another notable leader whose story is captured through four iconic photographs. These images serve as a powerful reminder of his resistance against colonial forces. 4 lonkos delves into themes of identity, loss, and the impact of history on indigenous cultures.

Collectors of documentary films or those interested in indigenous history will find this work significant. It presents a narrative that is both educational and a critical examination of historical injustices.
