From Fri 9 Jun
In October 2019, social protests erupted in Chile, following years of inequality, corruption and the ruling establishment’s inability to dismantle Pinochet’s structures of dictatorship. Over a million people took to the streets, only to face brutal repression from the military. Nevertheless, the demonstrations led to a new, gender-equal government that embraced a move towards reform and introduced seismic constitutional change, ultimately decided upon through a nationwide referendum. Guzmán once again captures Chile at a momentous time. Through on-the-ground footage and interviews, he highlights the role women have played in the democratic movement. This is a timely testament to the collective power of people uniting to force change.
