SERIES SUMMARY :
Coups, dictatorships, revolutions, civil wars…
For decades, Latin America has been the testing ground for a violently unequal and increasingly polarized world.
In six emblematic countries – Brazil, Chile, Panama, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Colombia – men and women recount their political struggles. They retrace the tragedy of a fractured continent, constantly subjected to interventions of its powerful neighbor: the United States.
They are former ministers, opposition figures, secret service agents, torture survivors, guerrilla fighters, lawyers, investigative journalists, diplomats, police chiefs…
Survivors of torture, guerrilla fighters, secret service agents, coup leaders, dissidents, diplomats, police chiefs, investigative journalists… Through their testimonies, we relive the Latin American saga in all its political and human complexity.
