"Run to Save a Watershed" is a documentary set in Chile's Central Andes, where the Maipo River sustains Santiago's 7.1 million residents and a vibrant ecosystem. However, the Alto Maipo hydroelectric project threatens this vital waterway.

Trail runner and activist Felipe Cancino runs 120 kilometers, tracing the project's pipelines, to expose its devastating impact. He reveals how it alters the river, displaces communities, endangers Santiago's water supply, and permanently damages the natural environment. The film underscores the true value of this ecosystem against the high costs of current development.
