Patricio Guzmán is a legendary name among documentary filmmakers.
In 1973, the exiled Chilean artist took the footage his team had garnered and turned it into the epic The Battle of Chile, the story of the rise and fall of the Allende regime.
In later years, he has been the filmic soul and conscience of the movement to restore a suppressed part of Chilean history. At AU, He screened Chile Obstinate Memory, the record of his journey back to Chile with the never-before-seen-there The Battle of Chile.
