Chile, obstinate memory

The filmography of filmmaker Patricio Guzmán has been dedicated to capturing on the big screen the memory of the tragic rupture of Chile's future as a democratic country since the coup d'état. The Battle of Chile, an unavoidable trilogy to get closer to the Allende government, the in situ 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 topic in works such as Chile, la memoria obstinada (1997), The Pinochet Case (2001) and Allende ( 2004), among others. Synopsis: More than twenty years have passed since the terrible event that Patricio Guzmán captured in his documentary The Battle of Chile, when the filmmaker returns to Santiago, his homeland, to find the protagonists of his old film, those who participated in some way in that coup d'état.
