Overview

This vivid portrayal of Chile from the 1973 military coup shows terror, demonstrations, repression by the military and police, marches, a state of siege, and peaceful reactions. The film juxtaposes rarely seen scenes of the ceremony, pomp and parades of General Augusto Pinochet and his cohorts against the at-first ineffectual and ultimately successful opposition in the streets. It is a powerful and eloquent reminder of the evils of autocratic rule that resonate in today’s debate about Pinochet’s fate.
