Machuca, Directed by Andrés Wood, 2004 Chile ( Feature film )
Machuca is set in 1973 just before and after the assassination of Salvador Allende, the first socialist president democratically elected in a Latin-American country.
It is the first Chilean film made about this period and it tells the story of the friendship between two young boys across the brutal class divide.
The principal of the Saint Patrick School, Father McEnroe makes a trial of integration between students of the upper and lower classes.
The bourgeois boy Gonzalo Infante and the boy from the slum Pedro Machuca become great friends, while the conflicts on the streets leads Chile to the bloody and repressive military coup of General Augusto Pinochet on 11 September 1973, changing definitely their lives, their relationship and their country.
A powerful, beautifully shot portrayal of class struggle and its effect on young lives.
