With civil liberties in America under attack, those willing to fight to obtain them could learn a thing or two from the Patricio Guzmán documentary My Imaginary Country (Mi Pais Imaginario) about t…
of 2019. The people of Chile are fighting for the same things folks in the USA are. The only difference is that the Chilean people NEVER took their foot off the necks of their oppressors and successfully achieved their goal. Guzmán shows the duality of war, how it breeds anger and violence but also creativity, ingenuity, hope. He archives varying perspectives and allows the Chilean public to speak for themselves.
The protest were non-violent at first, but things escalated when President Pinera called a state of emergency and sent in military troops to disburse people in the street, and in response, protestors destroyed public property. These protests are considered Chile’s worst period of civil unrest since the end of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship.
Guzmán narrates the film from his perspective, offering his point of view, and showcases interviews with government dissenters, including political analysts, scholars, activists, the homeless, and anyone currently impacted by the government’s oppressive policies. He also shows what these policies have done to public infrastructure. Society was at a point where it could not go on without an overhauling the government. They tried being “nice.
The director gets right in the middle of the action between the people and the military and captures everything up close and personal. Most likely risking his safety to be in the thick of it. He also makes use of drones that capture establishing wide shots and sweeping camera pans of the capital, hovering above the action showing the carnage raging in the streets.
