"El Ultimo Hielero," Ecuador's inspiring online video

El Ultimo Hielero ('The Last Ice Merchant') shines a light on a dying profession on Ecuador's Chimborazo which is being upheld by a lone 67-year-old man: Baltazar Ushca.

If Baltazar's story doesn't touch a nerve and move you to visit the enigmatic Ecuadorian highlands, then nothing will. I could expound at length about what it meant to me, but I wont. The film's impact is too personal for that. Watch and enjoy.

(If it takes a while to load, just turn HD off - the picture quality is still excellent).
