The film is immersed in the student and social movements of post-dictatorship Chile. The Subversive Action Flims collective is excited to share the film with engaged audiences in our area, spark discussion within local movements, and is also setting up a photo exhibit on social conflict in Chile.

The Chicago Conspiracy traces the intertwining paths of diverse social movements in Chile—from the students on occupied campuses fighting education privatization, to the history of politically active barrios on the margins of Santiago, to the Mapuche, an indigenous people who, since the arrival of the Spanish, have never ceased resisting the expropriation of their land.
The backdrop is Pinochet’s dictatorship from 1973-1990, supported by the US government, and economically planned by former students of
Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago. The film includes powerful interviews with a family who lost three children to the military dictatorship. On March 29, 1985, the first two brothers to be killed, Rafael and Eduardo Vergara, were gunned down by the military
dictatorship in a politically active barrio. The anniversary of their murder is now always marked by national protests called the Day of the
Youth Combatant, in their memory and to commemorate all the youth killed under the military dictatorship and the current democracy.
