Have we behaved like civilized men? asks the white man after he has brutally crushed an entire people. EL PAÍS DEL DIABLO takes a close look at the tragic consequences of the 1879 campaign to exterminate the indigenous Ranquel people of the pampas in the "Conquest of the Desert". It seeks to name those people whose existence, both physical and cultural, was seen as a threat and later as a museum curiosity, to the Argentine nation. This film examines the ways in which the image of indigenous people has been usurped, and reinvented by the white man, and how the surviving descendants in Leubucó have reclaimed the body of their Chief, Mariano Rosas and are rebuilding their cultural identity through language teaching.

Qué bueno el recorrido de los ranqueles, mucha suerte !!!
Sí, empieza la conquista del desierto norteamericano...
Yo esta vez me quedo en casa y dejo que los ranqueles se defiendan solos...
Cuándo se podrá ver la película en la Argentina?
Anónimo: todavía no tenemos fecha de estreno para "El país del diablo", pero pronto habrá noticias. En todo caso, avisaré por este medio. Saludos anónimos!
Hace mucho que fantaseamos con poder conseguir tu película para pasarla en nuestro vagón -UN VAGON HERMOSO-
Acá estamos, en la patita de la P de la provincia de buenos aires, donde todo empezó; Huecubú Mapu.
saludos!
Vagón Hermoso: Guille Ueno me dijo que la quería pasar y a mí me encantaría ir a presentarla hasta la patita de la P!
Cuando ustedes quieran...
