Documentary
Plot
A three-part documentary shot by Patricio Guzmán and his team during the last months of Salvador Allende's government, and the coup of 11 September 1973. It shows the strikes, the conflicts between parties, the street protests and the bombing of the presidential palace. The footage was smuggled out of the country, and the 1975–79 film is regarded as one of the greatest political documentaries.
Sinekatalog’s take
Patricio Guzmán and his team filmed the last months of Allende's government and the coup of 11 September 1973, in a three-part record of strikes, street protests and a country splitting apart. It is among the great political documentaries, and an essential piece of history.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
