The Battle of Chile

documentary

Chile 1973. This told of the months-long struggle to hold things together in the Allende period while under constant mean, vicious opposition by the angry oligarchy...with the full support of the US.

On their September 11 they used full military force ending 150 years of electoral rule and bringing Chile into the fascist nightmare so many of us share today. Of course eventually Pinochet was ousted but not before doing permanent damage to that country and its poor.

So it goes. This was much too long to have the impact it should have had.
