Inside Pinochet's Prisons - 30 min documentary

See film here: http://vod.journeyman.tv/search?PublisherKeywords=Inside%20Pinochet\'s%20Prisons

In September 1973 Augusto Pinochet, backed by America, overthrew Chile's Marxist but democratically elected government. Under his direct orders the Chilean secret police erected vast prison camps to detain left wing sympathisers. No-one was safe - doctors, lawyers, trade unionists and Communists were all rounded up in the night. Held without trial in Pinochet's prisons they were brutally tortured and many executed; an attempt by Pinochet to stamp his ideological mark on the consciousness of a nation. Dressed in his pristine white military jacket Pinochet chillingly told the camera, "Marxism is like a ghost, it's very difficult to catch - even impossible to trap."

@Raizing90 You are wrong Brazil economy and Argentina economy are thousand of times larger then Chile economy. Chile is not in the G20 but Brazil & Argentina both are.

No one has died of hunger in Bolivia neither Venezuela. But in Pinochet's prisons many died. Ignorant bitch.

@TheRichestCadaver Pff... go there and die of hunger bitch, we don't need ignorants in our country.

@Raizing90 you are a complete ignorant about the reality of Chile both then and nowadays. The economical success is enjoyed only for few people that own and control everything related to the businesses that really matters in the country. About the 80% of wealthy is monopolized by the 2 % of Chilean citizens. The rest, only own a kind of survival jobs, prevented of real opportunities for financial growth, including professional studies, shelter or health..

@camau79

Why don't you move to Bolivia or Venezuela then? Geez. You live in Chile and don't recognise that because of Pinochet, you live in THE most economically powerful country in Latin America.
