Stats:
A lyrical feature documentary in the visual tradition of MAN OF ARAN and LA TERRA TREMA, Benacerraf's stunning ARAYA had been all but forgotten until rescued and restored by Milestone. Choosing a harsh, arid environment for her setting, Benacerraf tells the stories of three families, two of whom are involved in harvesting salt along the Venezuelan coast. Their jobs are arduous, backbreaking, and poorly compensated, but the black & white images of the people and their environment are considered some of the most striking in cinema history.
