DVD Review: Salvador Allende

“Guzman does not spout a mere recounting of Allende’s amazing life and career, although that would certainly be sufficient to hold our interest. Instead, he attempts to capture the true spirit of the times, both the mounting frustrations that led to Allende’s election, and the tremendous sense of loss left in his wake. Through historical fragments in museum displays, we get an icy look at how the Chilean military attempted a total annihilation; not just of Allende the man, but of any physical artifact that proved his very existence.”
