Today I went to photograph the (really) nonviolent protests in Santiago with my friend Felipe. He happened to be recording video as we came upon a large group of protestors. All of a sudden the group dispersed as police began spraying the crowds with water guns and tear gas. Here's what we experienced.

[I'd like to note that at no time did I feel my life was in danger. In the video you'll hear me say I was scared, but really only of losing Felipe in the crowd or experiencing tear gas (for the second time). I've been safe here and will continue to be; I only wanted to share a clip of what the protesting is like right now here in Chile.]
