Water and its sources have historically been the key factor in the establishment of cities, of civilizations. 'Glacial Balance' is a contemplative documentary film showing the effects climate change is having on Andean glaciers and the lives of those who depend on them for survival. In the film, we travel along the spine of the Andes mountain range, from Colombia to Argentina, getting to know the lives of those who will be first affected by the dwindling glacier reserve, the 'canaries in the mine'; The locals' experiences and scientists working in a race against time.
