Santiago Rising (2021)

(89 mins)

 

Filmed during protests which engulfed Chile in late 2019, Santiago Rising meets social movements, protesters and ordinary people in their struggle for economic equality and human rights, in the face of a violent police crackdown. It charts the build-up to the historic vote in October 2020 that saw Chileans vote for a new constitution to replace the one imposed during the dictatorship. Although the odds are stacked against them, Chileans find strength in unity as they fight to overcome Pinochet’s enduring legacy. We see the joy, colour, diversity, and energy of a people who feel that they have finally awakened from a long slumber and are making their way to a hopeful future.
