Pure communist revolutionary propaganda
Romantic narrative of what was nothing more than an attempted coup against a president democratically elected by his people.
Those of us who live in Chile and witness what happened firsthand have a very different vision from that of the director of this documentary.
Since Chile's return to democracy in 1990, Chile had made progress on multiple fronts, becoming the Latin American country with the highest human development index and highest per capita income. All this, under a functioning democracy and a free market development model.
But the Latin American ultra-left of a Chavista character, under the coordination of the Sao Paulo Forum, does not tolerate that a Latin American country develops except under its terms.
This is the story of how that ultra-left did not respect democracy in Chile.
