Pinochets Children (Paula Rodriguez, 83m)
Alejandro Goic was sixteen, Enrique Paris, twelve, and Carolina Toha eight years old, when General Pinochet seized power in Chile on September 11, 1973. During the coup Alejandro and Carolina lost their fathers, and all three lost their innocence and their youth. And eventually all went on to become powerful student leaders in the tumultuous eighties. With thoughtful, emotional interviews and rich archival footage, Pinochets Children is a remarkable film that beautifully renders three people's course of life against the background of the socio-political developments in their homeland.
In Spanish with English subtitles. More info at www.nyu.edu/kjc or at www.hrw.org/iff
