Why Almost Nobody Lives in Half of Argentina

Why do 41 million Argentinians live in the same corner of one of the world's largest countries? Argentina is the eighth-largest country on Earth, yet almost its entire population is concentrated in the northern half. Meanwhile, Patagonia—a region larger than many European countries—remains one of the emptiest places on the planet. In this documentary, we explore the geography, history, immigration, economy, Buenos Aires, Patagonia, the Andes, the Pampas, inflation, retirement, and the surprising reasons why Argentina developed this way.
