“MY IMAGINARY COUNTRY drips with the contagious thrill of hope... It is hard not to be moved.”
MY IMAGINARY COUNTRY / MI PAÍS IMAGINARIO
A film by Patricio Guzmán
(Chile/France, 2022, 83 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)
One day, without warning, a revolution exploded. It was the event that master documentarian Patricio Guzmán had been waiting for all his life: a million and a half people in the streets of Santiago, Chile, demanding justice, education, health care, and a new constitution to replace the strident rules imposed on the country during the Pinochet military dictatorship. Urgent and inspired, My Imaginary Country features harrowing front-line protest footage and interviews with dynamic activist leaders and powerfully connects Chile’s complex, bloody history to contemporary revolutionary social movements and the election of a new president.
