Set along the Uruguay River, Frayland examines the environmental and political consequences of the Finnish pulp industry’s expansion into South America. Focusing on the conflict surrounding the construction of one of the world’s largest pulp mills, the documentary reveals how transnational capital, ecological devastation, and competing visions of development reshape a landscape shared by Uruguay and Argentina.

In exposing the enduring dynamics of economic colonialism, the film reminds us that rivers, ecosystems, and environmental crises disregard the borders drawn on maps.
