Join us for Movie Night tonight “CHILE, OBSTINATE MEMORY” a film by
Patrico Guzman
International Center/ McMahon Hall
Movie starts at 6pm
CHILE, OBSTINATE MEMORY visits with Chileans who experienced the coup
first-hand (some of whom are seen in The Battle of Chile from 25 years
ago). Survivors reminisce as they watch that film, recognizing lost
comrades and recalling their courage, gaiety and love of life. Those who
were not killed during the coup itself were crowded into the National
Stadium in Santiago, where many were tortured, disappeared, and never
seen again. Survivors talk about the terror that characterized the Pinochet
regime until the dictator was finally obliged to relinquish power.
