In the Heart of Chile

This documentary focuses on memory and free-expression in the post-dictatorial turned democratic society of Santiago, Chile, and the important and changing role of women, activism, and creativity within that transitory structure. Santiago, as the center of the militarized state during the dictatorship, was once littered with torture sites large and small. Today, these sites have been replaced with art, memorial, and the endless search for the disappeared. This documentary explores how memory manifests itself into forms of expression, and how the formerly oppressed underground are affecting that manifestation, In The Heart of Chile.
