This documentary was produced as part of my history dissertation at the University of Bristol. It aims to investigate the question of US intervention in Chile from 1960-1973, and subsequently shed light on a topic that has had very little public understanding and engagement.


It focuses in on the decline of Chilean democracy in the 1970s and the demise of the Allende government, and attempts to parse the voluminous historiography on both sides of the aisle that either assert US involvement or deny it.

The companion website to this documentary is available below:

Here you will find the sources used, interviews with historians on the background of US interventionism and the character of the successive Pinochet regime, as well as the script in it's entirety as well as a portion of my dissertation research journal.
