COMMUNITY RATING
A conflict between wealthy landowners and the Mapuches (Native people of Chile) in the remote areas of rural Chile is the topic of THE TRIAL OF PASCUAL PICHUN. This timely, moving story focuses on the conflict as it takes on new urgency when the Mapuches are threatened with displacement, and acts of vandalism against private buildings and property are reported. The clash reaches new heights when Pascual Pichun, a politically vocal Mapuche, is placed on trial as a terrorist under a new Chilean law with serious implications for future cases, and for the fate of Chile's indigenous population.
