Oro Rojo

About This Movie

Oro Rojo is an intriguing look at the harsh realities of fishing in the Beagle Channel. Dario Bravo and his sons pull you into their world, not just through stunning visuals of the cold, rugged waters but also with a palpable sense of struggle against nature and the impacts of overfishing. The documentary has this raw, almost meditative pacing that lets you breathe in the atmosphere. It’s fascinating to see how they cherish the Fuegian spider crab, a delicacy that’s both lucrative and endangered. There’s this underlying tension as they grapple with sustainability versus tradition, and it’s interesting how the film balances that without heavy-handedness. The performances, or rather the lived experiences of the Bravo family, feel genuine. It’s a thought-provoking piece that lingers long after it ends.
