In 1980, the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet replaced Chile’s constitution with a new charter employing the principals of famed American Free-Market economist Milton Friedman. 40 years later the dictatorship is gone, but the constitution, and a key provision called the National Water Code that privatized Chile’s vast natural water supply, is still in effect.

Following an uprising in 2019 that drew millions of protestors across the country, and against the background of a 15 year drought that has left over half of the country in an official water emergency, a popularly elected body has been tasked with rewriting the constitution from scratch. With only a year to draw up the document, they must attempt to rectify the consequences of the lingering dictatorship policies and the devastating Water Code in their new draft. "Hasta la última gota" follows the fight of those working to change the system that birthed "The Chilean Miracle" as it's called, and the commercial effort to keep the status quo in place.
