A event held at The Old Market Assembly on Sunday 9th October. The event starts at 19:00.
Santiago Rising takes place on the streets of Chile’s capital city in late 2019 as massive
protests over economic inequality engulf the country.
Filmed during the weeks after protests began, Santiago Rising meets social movements,
protesters and ordinary people in their struggle for equality and human rights.
The film charts the build-up to the historic vote, in October 2020, that saw Chileans vote for a
new constitution to replace the one imposed during the brutal Pinochet dictatorship.
Santiago Rising emphasises the prominent role of music and art in political dissent. We also
see the state’s attempts to crush the protest movement through a violent police crackdown.
Although the odds are stacked against them, Chileans find strength in unity as they fight to
overcome Pinochet’s enduring legacy.
