September 11, 1973. Salvador Allende's Last Fight [desconocido]

Director Patricio Henríquez went into exile in Canada after the coup d'état in Chile. His work as a documentary filmmaker has allowed him to address countless issues related to the social reality of the Latin American continent. Two of his latest works focus on the conditions of prisoners held at Guantánamo Bay. In his concern for the future of Chilean political history, after this documentary about what happened on the day of the coup he published Images of a dictatorship (2004), in which he analyzes the figure of Augusto Pinochet. 


Synopsis: The documentary narrates, almost minute by minute, the day of September 11, 1973 in Santiago de Chile. That day, the Palacio de la Moneda was bombed and set on fire by the military under Pinochet's orders while, inside, President Allende, democratically elected by Chileans, resisted. This documentary reconstructs the story of that day and the last 24 hours of President Salvador Allende.
