This documentary, released in 1999, remembers the life of the Chilean folk singer Victor Jara. It documents his life from his infancy in the campo to his adolescent years spent living in a marginal community in Santiago, his work in the theater, and his support of the beliefs of the socialist president Salvador Allende. His death in the National Stadium as well as the exile of his widow Joan Turner and many others, not to mention the torture and death of thousands, were all a result of the military coup led by Augusto Pinochet following the death of President Allende. The documentary draws a parallel between the history of Jara and the transformations that his country suffered after September 11, 1973.
