Summary:
Battle of Chile: The epic chronicle of Chile's open and peaceful socialist revolution and of the violent counter-revolution against it after the overthrow of Salvador Allende's government by Augusto Pinochet. Chile, obstinate memory: Visits with Chileans who experienced the coup first-hand (some of whom are seen in The Battle of Chile (Batalla de Chile) from 25 years ago). Survivors reminisce as they watch that film, recognizing lost comrades and recalling their courage, gaiety and love of life. Those who were not killed during the coup itself were crowded into the National Stadium in Santiago, where many were tortured, disappeared, and never seen again. Survivors talk about the terror that characterized the Pinochet regime until the dictator was finally obliged to relinquish power. The Pinochet case : Investigates the legal case against Augusto Pinochet for crimes against humanity. Salvador Allende: From his childhood in Valparaiso to his suicide following the Pinochet military coup on September 11, 1973, the life and works of Chilean president Salvador Allende, focusing on the three years following his election.
