Director Patricio Guzman's epic Battle of Chile has been divided into three films, the first, Battle of Chile (1) The Insurrection of the Bourgeoisie (1973) chronicles the political tension in Chile in 1973 and the violent counter revolution against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende. It uses documentary footage-mostly from TV crews that were man on the street interviews in the beginning as well as more widely seen footage of politicians and official speeches. It is a refreshing look into a specific time and place in which American intervention (some of which was covert) sent a country into chaos. It was not the first time nor would it be the last.
