Ahora Te Vamos a Llamar Hermano (Henceforth We Will Call You Brother)
Raúl Ruiz, 1971, CL, DCP, 16'

Raúl Ruiz shot this film on March 28th, 1971, during the big peasant march in Temuco, Chile, when the government of Salvador Allende passed its first law, granting full civil and political rights to the indigenous Mapuche Indians. Raúl Ruiz, then acting as a film adviser to the Socialist party in Allende’s coalition, listens to their stories which stand in contrast to the ideals of official government policies.
