In the early seventies, numerous films were made about the incredible revolutionary fever that gripped Chile in the 70s under Allende’s Government. One of these documentaries, The Battle of Chile (1972-1979), very clearly portrayed this reality and travelled all over the world. In 1997, its author returned to Santiago with a small team to revisit the scenarios and find some of the characters who appeared in the former original film.
