In September 11th, 1973, General Pinochet seized power in a bloody military coup that toppled the government of democratically elected President Salvador Allende. During his rule, more than 3,200 people were executed or disappeared. 30 years after this event that changed the history of Chile, we present this film in Vancouver to remember the end of the Pinochet's dictatorship.
''International pressure forced the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet to call a referendum in an effort to maintain his presidency in 1988. The leaders of the opposition convince a young advertising executive, to head the campaign to vote NO. Despite their limited resources and the iron-fisted control of the despot's police force, this team carry out an audacious plan to win the referendum and free the country of oppression''.
