CHILE 1973 – Los trabajadores no participan en el gobierno, son el gobierno (English Subtitles)

Los trabajadores no participan en el gobierno, son el gobierno Original film by Jan Kees de Rooy (1973, Netherlands, 57 minutes). Los trabajadores no participan en el gobierno, son el gobierno (The workers do not participate in the government, they are the government) is a 1973 Dutch and Spanish-language film that highlights many different aspects of the socialist Unidad Popular project in Chile, which inspired people around the world. The film shows how Chile’s workers, campesinos, artists, neighborhoods, students and youth joined together in the struggle for a just society. The Unidad Popular government came to an end on September 11, 1973 when the Chilean military staged a coup d’etat backed by the United States. Thousands were tortured, murdered, and disappeared by the ensuing military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. Victor Jara and Salvador Allende, both featured in this film, were among the many victims of the coup. Thank you to the Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos f
