Per Questi Stretti Morire

The film presents a compelling reconstruction of Father Alberto Maria De Agostini's life and achievements as an explorer and filmmaker. Leaving his home in Piedmont at the age of 26, he ventured to South America, reaching Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, areas that were largely uncharted at the time.

De Agostini's contributions to the field of exploration included climbing mountains, discovering fjords, and naming glaciers. His passion for documenting his experiences is showcased through the images he captured on photographic plates and in his film 'Terre Magellaniche'. This documentary not only highlights his adventurous spirit but also addresses the cultural impact of his work amidst the plight of the last Indigenous peoples he encountered.
