At the turn of the 20th century, Tierra del Fuego's landscape acted as the frontier of a budding Chilean nation that sought to deepen its hold on its far southern expanse. ‘Los Colonos’ depicts this bloody conquest. @SFeldblum

“Yo me dediqué a cambiar el mundo y no cambié un carajo, pero estuve entretenido. Sin embargo, me voy a morir feliz. No gasté mi vida solo consumiendo. La gasté soñando, peleando, luchando. Me cagaron a palos, sí, pero le di un sentido a mi existencia”. Hasta siempre, Pepe.
