Their ancestral traditions are threatened by modern civilization and modern civilization is threatened by their ancestral traditions. This documentary reflects the conflict between their worldview and the desperate attempts of the modern world to find in lithium, an alternative to fossil fuels. Technological advances help us improve our quality of life, but the public must understand which are our responsibilities towards the environment and other forms of life, as well as what social, political and economic behaviors we must modify thinking about future generations. The salt flats are almost endless. And so must be our search for balance in humanity. "In the name of lithium" is a documentary about the struggle of the indigenous communities in Argentina to stop the extraction of lithium: "the new white gold". It's all about life in equilibrium with nature.
