SYNOPSIS
Having traveled back to Chile in 1995, filmmaker Cecilia Araneda was shocked to discover Pinochet supporters even among her own extended family. Shaken out of her naïve belief that everybody knew the horrors of Chile’s military regime, Chile: A History in Exile is Araneda’s very personal response to those who would argue that the events of September 11, 1973 were the best thing that ever happened to Chile.
