Kino und Kampf 4

The police clear land on the outskirts of Santiago that is occupied by homeless families. A girl dies. The settlement stays. It bears her name to this day: Herminda de la Victoria.

A woman from a bourgeois background and the socialist Minister for Economic Affairs talk to each other and at cross-purposes via tape: a snapshot of the deeply divided Chilean society.

Two years after the military coup. People gather around the camera in the streets of Santiago. They say they can’t speak here. Everyone is afraid. And yet, Chile begins to speak.
