      Audience Member good one-man-story about loosing a beloved country and transfering that feeling into aristic masterpieces Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Some excellent and original archival footage that was used well. Shame the subject is so enamoured with his own voice but then I suppose it's to be expected from a playwright. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This documentary by Peter Raymont was excellent. It was moving and disturbing. It's about the removal of President Allende in Chile and the US's substitution of dictator General Pinochet who murdered and tortured a bunch of people. Ariel Dorfman's life was spared so he could tell the tale. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
