The Last Ice Merchant

The Last Ice Merchant is a film about a changing culture. Twice a week Baltazar Ushca hikes up the slopes of Mount Chimborazo, the tallest mountain in Ecuador,  to harvest glacial ice. Not so long ago there were 40 ice merchants making the trek. Today Baltazar is the only one, the last of his kind.
