Patricio Guzmán makes political films. You may have come across his three-part The Battle of Chile, made in the 1970s about the Allende socialist government and the bloody US-sponsored military coup that ended it. His later films are also ‘poetic’. They don’t have a straightforward narrative but link people, places, the natural world, even the cosmos, in unexpected and revealing ways.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
