在这部智利：问题的星系纪录片/短片片中,Chile: A Galaxy of Problems: Guzman focuses in on the half-repressed ghost of Chile's 1973 military coup d'état, pointing his camera toward psychologists, historians, economists, engineers, and, most disturbingly, a former high military official (the Chilean military has, in Guzman's view, been complicit in a coercive conspiracy of silence in the decades since the coup) in order to shed some light on the reluctance in Chile to face head-on the many unanswered questions raised by the past. For the short's most stark example of why this convenient amnesia has been harmful, a lawyer cites a statistic that only 40% of those victimized under Pinochet have had the crimes against them redressed.
In this documentary, Patricio Guzmán returns, once again, to the most recent historical past of his country, and does so by analyzing the amnesia of his fellow citizens regarding the Pinochet coup d'état. Journalists, historians, lawyers, psychologists and even a commander who participated in the coup deal with this oblivion and its consequences.
