Synopsis
On September 11, 1973, President
Salvador Allende's democratically-elected Chilean government was overthrown in a bloody coup by General
Augusto Pinochet's army.
Patricio Guzmán and five colleagues had been filming the political developments in Chile throughout the nine months leading up to that day. The bombing of the Presidential Palace, during which Allende died, would now become the ending for Guzmán’s seminal documentary
The Battle Of Chile, an epic chronicle of that country's open and peaceful socialist revolution, and of the violent counter-revolution against it.
