AUGUSTO PINOCHET:
The Coup, The Torture & The West
A 3DD Production 1x60
September 11th, 2023, marks the 50th Anniversary of the military coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power in Chile.
The dictator took power – and kept it – with the support of democracies including the United Kingdom and the United States, through the use of terror & sadistic torture. The West chose to look the other way.
This documentary will reveal the shocking depth of that support, using archive footage, expert analysis & personal accounts of torture, and declassified government files to tell the story of Pinochet’s uprising,the brutal regime he led, and the Western allies who enabled it all.
