Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
But people who are sheltered, people who don't, you know, uh, people who don't have a lot of problems, um, they're in no position to judge what others do.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
My favorite example here is university professors sitting in their very comfortable offices condemning someone like General Pinochet.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
Well, what was he facing? He was facing extreme violence in the streets.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
A psycho dictator which led the, um, legislature to ask him to take over even though he only got thirty-nine percent of the vote or something like that.

Stephen GarrettGUEST
They're stationed in Chile and they're right there in 1973 before they overthrow the
Neil PollackHOST
Pinochet.
Stephen GarrettGUEST
Yeah, and they install Pinochet.
Stephen GarrettGUEST
And Malkovich keeps kind of leaking that to random people in the street.

Right.
Joseph Peter DrennanGUEST
And this is nothing new.
Joseph Peter DrennanGUEST
I mean, Henry Kissinger dealt with the same issues later in his life because of allegations that had been made against him for complicity in the Pinochet coup in – In Chile and the atrocities perpetrated against the people in East Timor by the
Sean O'ConnorHOST
Indonesian government.
Sean O'ConnorHOST
Interesting, interesting stuff, Joseph.
Steve HaywardHOST
I do not care for some of the things I'm hearing from the fringes.
Steve HaywardHOST
On the other hand, he takes after one person in particular who I don't even really want to amplify his name, but for praising those terrible people, Francisco Franco, Salazar in Portugal, and above all, Pinochet.
Steve HaywardHOST
And, of course, my first maybe disreputable response is about, well, about Pinochet.
Steve HaywardHOST
Anybody who throws commies from helicopters can't be all bad.
Steve HaywardHOST
But here's the point.
Rob LongGUEST
Privatize Social Security.
Steve HaywardHOST
Well, now, see, there's the point.
Steve HaywardHOST
You know, Milton Friedman is still attacked for having been an advisor to Pinochet in economics.
George PundekHOST
Set in Chile in 1973, in the backdrop of true events that would happen, which was that on the 11th of September 1973...
George PundekHOST
President Salvador Allende, who was a sort of Marxist-leaning president, democratically elected, was overthrown in a coup and replaced by Pinochet.
George PundekHOST
And it's widely understood that not only was that coup favorable to the USA and favored by the USA and Richard Nixon's administration, there's a lot of inference that it was backed by the CIA.
George PundekHOST
So in the context of that, this movie takes place in the weeks prior to it.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
That was DW's Kathleen Schuster from their Living Planet podcast.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
The filmmaker who shaped how the world saw and would remember the violence of the Pinochet regime in Chile has died.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
Patricio Guzman was a titan of documentary film.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
His landmark 1975 film The Battle of Chile covered the buildup to the coup that saw Pinochet take power.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
His later films made connections between Chile's politics and its vast natural landscapes.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
Guzman died this week at the age of 85 in Paris.
Gustavo FurtadoGUEST
I mean, in fact, the first part of the Battle of Chile ends with the footage of a filmmaker being shot by a soldier and accidentally filming his own death.
Carolyn BeelerHOST
Yeah, because they were filming right, as you said, as the coup started and they were going to the places where there was the most unrest.
