A key document of the dictatorship years, and a pinnacle moment in Chilean cinema. Filmed covertly during the dictatorship, No Olvidar chronicles a terrible episode in Chile’s history: the kidnapping and murder of five men whose bodies were only found after five years of searching.

Filmed during hard and decisive years of the democratic struggle against the regime of Augusto Pinochet, it is the first film in which a group of Chilean filmmakers, without anonymity try to give a global account of the Chilean situation of those days. The film reflects the vision and personal testimony of its director about his country at that moment.

Un actor caracterizado como Salvador Allende interpreta un monólogo en un teatro desierto en un barrio de Manhattan. El monólogo cubre las últimas horas de Allende en La Moneda, desde donde repasa sus errores mientras espera el ataque de las tropas golpistas. En paralelo, vemos imágenes de la época, mientras una voz en off (Alejandro Cohen) lee textos de la Divina Comedia que se engarzan poéticamente con el personaje.

This award-winning film presents a dramatic slice of the daily life of a young Chilean couple of popular origins, who, harassed by unemployment, lack of communication and poverty, struggle to give meaning to their lives, stay united as a family and get ahead in shattered and threatening worlds.
