On September 11, 1973, President Allende's democratically-elected Chilean government was overthrown in a blood coup by General Augusto Pinochet's army. Patricio Guzman and five colleagues had been filming the political developments in Chile throughout the nine months leading up to that day. The bombing of the Presidential Palace, during which Allende died, would now become the ending for Guzman's seminal documentary The Battle of Chile, an epic chronicle of that country's open and peaceful socialist revolution , and of the violent counter-revolution against it. Long banned in Chile after Pinochet's coup, only in 1997 could Guzman return to show The Battles of Chile there for the first time. Chile: Obstinate Memory (included on the fourth disc here) is the #extraordinary moving# record of that homecoming, and a fitting conclusion to a #thrilling documentary double feature.# 4 DVD Set
