A powerful,
dramatic re-telling of the events surrounding the military
takeover of the government of President Salvador Allende.
The film depicts, in a gritty realistic style, Pinochet’s
fascist acts against followers of Allende’s socialist
Unidad Popular. Soldiers disloyal to Pinochet were systematically
executed along with university professors, artists and journalists.
The films most shocking side is the depiction of CIA’s
active involvement in this depiction of perhaps the bloodiest
chapter in the history of the Americas. |
