This program examines Chile under martyred socialist President Salvador Allende, and the subsequent Pinochet regime that followed. Allende’s niece and novelist, Isabel Allende, exile Hortensia Bussi, Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriela Mistral, and others discuss women’s role in the eventual toppling of Pinochet, and the formation of the Latin American Federation of Associations of Families of Prisoners Missing Since 1981—a tracking organization that helps families discover the fate of relatives kidnapped during the Pinochet reign of terror. Also available in Spanish. (59 minutes) English
