Bradbury's new film, shot in Chile on the pretext of making an ethnographic documentary, is actually a chronicle of the repression, intimidation, arrests and murders suffered by the Chilean people while the elite enjoys the good life. It is a film of painful contrasts-society patrons take in a John Denver concert while, outside, police brutally disperse a group of petitioning women-and heartrending encounters-a teenage boy imploring his neighbors to take action to find his "disappeared" parent. Although Bradbury has filmed in Central America, Cambodia (Public Enemy No. One), and Vietnam (Frontline), he says that he found his time in Chile the most terrifying. While not front page news here, the situation there is as explosive as that in South Africa or Nicaragua.
