Chile 50 Years After the Coup

Documentary screening and roundtable discussion to commemorate the 50-year anniversary of the US-supported military coup that brought an end to the progressive government of Salvador Allende and inaugurated the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990).

Documentary Screening:

My Imaginary Country (Mi país imaginario, Patricio Guzmán, 2022)

One day, without warning, a revolution exploded. It was the event that master documentarian Patricio Guzmán had been waiting for all his life: a million and a half people in the streets of Santiago, Chile, demanding justice, education, health care, and a new constitution to replace the strident rules imposed on the country during the Pinochet military dictatorship.
