For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Don't Believe the Hype
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is only film who shows how terrible was life during "The saltpetre age" (1880-1929) for working class in Chile. All the attempts to create worker unions were crushed by violence. Maybe the script show too bad the baddies and too good the good guys, but all these terrible carnages actually took place in some mines. Recommended for those who want to learn about a dark side of our History.
