Film Overview

It's 1973 — Hippie love, the Beatles, Vietnam, Watergate. In Chile, the Socialist president, Salvador Allende, is in power; demonstrations are frequent; political discourse is rampant. But, when a coup takes place on September 11, 1973, orchestrated by Augusto Pinochet and the American CIA, human rights take a backseat to imprisonment, torture, and murder.
