Orwellian Delusions
Chile, 1988. Augusto Pinochet, under international pressure but very sure of himself, agrees to hold a referendum on the continuation of his presidency. The opposition hires a brilliant, apolitical young publicist to campaign against him. With 15 minutes of airtime every day for 27 days to make their case, a fierce media battle ensues. So... yes or no?
A tense dive into the television campaign that shook the Chilean dictatorship, carried by Gaël Garcia Bernal. The third instalment in Pablo Parrain's trilogy on the Chilean dictatorship, following Tony Manero and Santiago 73, Post Mortem, this remarkable political thriller revisits a historic moment that shook the Chilean political landscape.
