Description: In 1973, the film director Miguel Litt n fled Chile after a U. S. - supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator General Augusto Pinochet instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Litt n returned to Chile disguised as a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he d been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism he would secretly put together a film that would tell the truth about Pinochet's benighted Chile a film that would capture the world's attention while landing the general and his secret police with a very visible black eye. Afterwards the great novelist Gabriel Garc a M rquez sat down with Litt n to hear the story of his escapade with all its scary comic and not - a - little surreal ups and downs. Then applying the same unequaled gifts that had already gained him a Nobel Prize Garc a M rquez wrote it down. Clandestine in Chile is a true - life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.
