El Derecho de vivir en pazThe Right to Live in Peace
The film focus on the life and work of musician Victor Jara who was murdered during the military coup in Chile 1973. During his lifetime he was revered for his contribution to revival of traditional Latin American music and arts in general. After his death he became an inspiration throughout the world for the reestablishment of democracy in his country. The film traces Jara's life from his rural upbringing to his last moment in the Chile Stadium in Santiago. Original footage of him singing and playing reveals his charisma and talent. Interviews with contemporaries recall the sad and chilling history of Chile's tainted past. Also included is an interview with his widow, Joan, who has worked ceaselessly to keep his artistic work alive. Victor Jara's continuing eminence has demonstrated that the killing of a human being cannot wipe out its ideas or its creative contribution.
