Tonight’s film comes from Chile.
Nostalgia de la Luz (2010)
Whether you’re learning Spanish or just looking for something to watch, Nostalgia de la Luz is a moving documentary.
The documentary covers two different searches in Chile’s Atacama Desert : one by women looking for the remains of loved ones murdered by the dictatorship of General Pinochet, and one by astronomers researching the history of the cosmos.
If you’re learning Spanish, the following videos discuss the CIA-backed coup that brought Pinochet to power in 1973, and the atrocities committed during his regime :
