Sep. 05, 2023 | France | 91 Min | IMDb: 6.6 | TMDb:9 | Not RatedGenre: Documentary, History, TV Movie Directors: Paul Le Grouyer, Actor: Alberto Cardemil, Enrique Correa, Éric Caravaca, Fernando Guzmán, Gaspar Dominguez, Giovanna Grandón, Luz Acre, Mario Desbordes, Michelle Bachelet, Oscar Guillermo Garretón,The rejection of the project for a new, more socially just constitution by the Chilean people in 2022 has reignited the conflicts that have plagued the country for five decades. On September 11, 1973, in a bloody military coup, General Pinochet ended the socialist revolution launched by President Salvador Allende, legitimately elected in a democratic election. The subsequent dictatorial regime with fascist features brought great violence and terror to the Chilean people. The accompanying neo-liberal economic system, which made the country one of the richest in the region, led to an ever-widening social gap in society, which in turn fell into a kind of passivity. In 2019, long after the dictator was voted out of office and the democratization that followed, a new social movement is shaking the prevailing order. From Allende’s socialism to Pinochet’s fascism, this historical fresco in documentary form returns to the origins of the rupture.
