Each winter hundreds of thousands of tons of salt are transported to Boston via cargo ship to spread on icy roads. Fundir traces this salt from one of its main sources in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The film is biography of a material--a record of extraction, migration, and physical transformation, initiated by a vast and intricate choreography of human labor and global trade.
