“Chile is known as South America’s blooming oasis, at once marked by neo-liberalism and high economic growth, but also by poverty, social inequality and the legacy of the Pinochet military dictatorship. In October 2019, shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, proposed fare increases for public transport led to protests in the capital, which spread like wildfire across most of the country and grew into a varied movement for constitutional and economic reform. Over a period of three years, extending to the failure of the Constitutional Convention in 2022 and the political backlash that followed, Tamara Uribe and Felipe Morgado capture the events and their topography in sequences presented without commentary, giving the activist forces a face without siding against any of the protagonists: whether Indigenous, feminist, militant, anarchist or conservative, they find a place for everyone in this formally daring portrait of the era, which functions at the same time as a snapshot. Anyone who joins this journey through a society in the process of awakening will be rewarded with insights into democratic processes, mass protests and their socio-political dynamics.” —Berlin Film Festival

“Chile es conocido con el naciente de Suramérica, marcado por el neoliberalismo y un gran crecimiento económico, pero también por la pobreza, la inequidad social y el legado de la dictadura militar de Pinochet. En octubre de 2019, poco antes de la pandemia por COVID-19, los aumentos propuestos a la tarifa de transporte público generaron protestas en la capital, que se expandieron a gran parte del país, y dieron origen a un movimiento que pedía reforma constitucional y económica. Durante tres años, hasta el fracaso de la Convención Constitucional de 2022 y la retaliación política que siguió, Tamara Uribe y Felipe Morgado captaron los eventos en secuencias sin opinar, dándole a los activistas voz, sin tomar posición contra alguno de los protagonistas. Los pueblos indígenas, feministas, militantes, anarquistas o conservadores tienen un lugar en este retador retrato de una época, que sirve también como resumen. Todo el que se una a este viaje a través de una sociedad en un proceso de despertar será premiado con conocimiento sobre procesos democráticos, protestas masivas y sus dinámicas socio-políticas”. – Festival de Cine de Berlín
