Pinochets Kinder

Pinochet′s Children

"Pinochet′s Children" documents the testimony of three representatives of the generation that grew up during the dictatorship of Pinochet. It comprises the period of time beginning with the military coup of 1973, when Pinochet appeared in the lives of the Chileans, until his arrest and trial.

All three protagonists became distinguished student leaders directing the social movement of the Chilean youth against the dictator. In the film, they reflect on the causes that led them to rebellion, their motivations, the need to open a space free of the limitations set by the authoritarian regime. Finally, they talk about the aims in life they developed after the collapse of the Pinochet regime.
