The Battle of Chile: The Struggle of an Unarmed People (Spanish: La batalla de Chile: La lucha de un pueblo sin armas) is a Chilean-Cuban documentary film, by Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán, in three parts: The Insurrection of the Bourgeoisie (La insurrección de la burguesía 1975), The Coup d'état (El golpe de estado; 1976) and Popular Power (El poder popular; 1979).
A chronicle of the political tension in Chile in 1973 and of the military coup against the government of Salvador Allende, it won the Grand Prix in 1975 and 1976 at the Grenoble International Film Festival.
In 1997, Chile, Obstinate Memory was released and followed Guzmán back to Chile as he screened the three-part documentary to Chileans who had never seen it before.[1]
