Zusammenfassung:A film that documents the conditions in two prison camps in Northern Chile shortly after the 1973 military coup
This was filmed by a team who got the agreement of Pinochet to film in Chile, but not at the prison camps. Through deception they managed to be invited into the camps. Once there, they interviewed prisoners and military personnel, using this personal testimony as the backbone of the documentary. The film also looks at the saltpetre mine that used to be on the site of the main concentration camp. There are interviews with miners that show how badly treated the miners were by the mining companies. When miners went on strike or tried to mobilise, they were attacked, killed and their colleagues and families were taken away and never seen again. The attacks on communism by the Videla regime are also chronicled. The film links the brutality of this earlier capitalism, with that of the military junta of the 1970s
