The Desert and The Dream

Written and produced by John Ormond.
On the plains of Patagonia and in the valleys of the Andes neat the borders of Chile there are South American gauchos with names like Jones, Evans, and Davies. They are descended from Welsh men who sailed to Patagonia in 1865 hoping to And a promised land, far from the mining valleys of home. This film tells the strange story of their Argentinian settlement and how it developed.
