Synopsis

Between ’72 and ’74, Spanish filmmaker and journalist Miguel Herberg, strongly encouraged and backed by Italian director Roberto Rossellini, dared to challenge Pinochet’s regime. He infiltrated the Chilean extreme right circle and managed to get hundreds of documents and photographs that shed a new light on the golpe in Chile: the involvement of the CIA, the brutal repression against the opponents. He was also able to film unique material on Pinochet’s concentration camps, which he later brought to light, forcing the regime to release many prisoners. From that moment on, Miguel’s name becomes number one of the Chilean secret service blacklist.
Today, 50 years later, Miguel is on his way to resume his journey, reunite with those ex-prisoners and disclose a never told before page of history.
