Sometimes a film overcomes itself to be more important than the actual film itself. This is one of those cases. While from a filmmaking standpoint, it was well done and engaging, the power behind the movie’s content makes it incredible.<\/p>\n

The film synopsis reads, \u201cOne day, without warning, a revolution exploded. It was the event that master documentarian Patricio Guzm\u00e1n had been waiting for all his life: a million and a half people in the streets of Santiago, Chile, demanding justice, education, health care, and a new constitution to replace the strident rules imposed on the country during the Pinochet military dictatorship. Urgent and inspired, My Imaginary Country features harrowing front-line protest footage and interviews with dynamic activist leaders and powerfully connects Chile’s complex, bloody history to contemporary revolutionary social movements and the election of a new president.\u201d but that\u2019s only the start; the fight for what\u2019s right is at the core of the story. Traditionally I wouldn\u2019t post an entire synopsis like this in a review, but I think it\u2019s important to know what exactly this film is.<\/p>\n

I know, I know\u2026 I can hear you all screaming about spoilers. I honestly don\u2019t feel any description of a documentary can ever be indeed considered a spoiler. While I wouldn\u2019t knowingly \u201cruin\u201d something, I feel documentaries are the exception to the rule.<\/p>\n

The film follows along this journey that is not only important for the country but for the world. These citizens, often considered powerless, overcome and fight for the rights they and their neighbors deserve. It\u2019s as much about perseverance as the struggle to do right. The interviews alone make the film worth every moment; I know that many of my readers probably aren\u2019t huge fans of subtitles, but I ask that you look past that and open your mind to this experience. It\u2019s crucial to see what change can be made by the people for the good of others.<\/p>\n
