Chile, la memoria obstinada

Atacama Productions

The filmography of filmmaker Patricio Guzmán has been dedicated to capturing on the big screen the memory of the tragic rupture of the future of Chile as a democratic country since the coup d'état. La batalla de Chile (The Battle of Chile), an unavoidable trilogy to approach the Allende government, the on-site recording of the assault on the Palacio de la Moneda and the days that followed, has an essential place in the canon of Latin American documentary. Subsequently, the director continued to address this issue in works such as Chile, la memoria obstinada (1997), El caso Pinochet (2001) and Allende (2004), among others.

Synopsis: More than twenty years have passed since the terrible event that Patricio Guzmán left reflected in his documentary, La batalla de Chile, when the filmmaker returns to Santiago, to his homeland, to find the protagonists of his old film, those who participated in some way in that coup d'état.
