Araya (Margot Benacerraf, 1959) | Armando Roque

Jack Woodhams loves this

Araya is a 1959 Venezuelan documentary film directed by Margot Benacerraf and co-written by Benacerraf and Pierre Seghers.
The film depicts the lives of labourers who extract salt from the sea off the Araya Peninsula in Venezuela. Their method for extracting salt, virtually unchanged for centuries, depends on gruelling physical labor, but provides a dependable, if meagre, living for the men and their families. The film ends with a recently built (by the time of filming) plant for mechanised salt extraction that could eliminate the community’s traditional source of income.
