Documentary Arde Bahía: A story of faith, migration, and popular memory

This documentary reconstructs the arrival of thousands of Chilean migrants to Bahía Blanca from the 1960s onward, in a context of poverty, dictatorship, and uprooting. Pentecostal communities became refuges of hope and support, igniting a spirituality that remains alive in the city to this day.
