The Conquest of the Desert was the offensive of the Argentine State to evict the indigenous peoples of Patagonia in order to advance over vast portions of land, fragment them, and market them. Beyond the military campaign there were a series of extermination operations. An unwritten final solution supported by forced exodus, concentration camps, the elimination of the indigenous families through starvation, disease or slave labor. The protagonists of The Invisible History are descendants of the Mapuches who are trying to reconstruct their original identity. The film makes the wound, which is still open, visible, in order to make room for debate on a different conception of the country, inclusive and multicultural.

Jorge Giannoni isn't a hero; he's a witness to the darkest part of the history of independent cinema in our country, and of an entire generation; a story that saw him present alongside Raymundo Gleyzer and Glauber Rocha in the turbulent Brazil of the 1960s, during the French May as a producer for RAI, in his work as a face-hunter for Fellini, and in film production from Cuba, making documentaries critical of the Trial; a history riddled with encounters, disagreements, exiles, frustrations, burned negatives, and a few triumphs.
