in whose hands is the dignity

The background of the story is Pinocelli. A very familiar historical figure. In fact, I didn't know much about it in middle school textbooks, but when I went to university, I learned something from listening to Latin American economic history.

It opens with a sunny atmosphere, a flight attendant with blue eye shadow, enthusiastic rock music, and the thriving seventies. Screen switching, who would have thought that there is a facility that is very similar to a concentration camp? Women are forced to work intensively, electric shocks, poisoning and violence are applied to disobedient people, and their claws are extended to children. The name of this place is "Dignity Colony." Dignity is irony and colony is taken for granted arrogance. The dignity of the Chilean people is in their own hands.

In the film, ex-Nazis, ultra-nationalists, and deformed religious forces, such as the black cloud, gather more and more and hang low over the Chilean people. High inflation, high prices, high-pressure rule. The people kept silent, otherwise they would be arbitrarily imprisoned, tortured, and shot.

This social situation seems to still have the significance of reflection. When it is broken, it is broken, and restarting development is the right way. After you sing, I will come on stage, no one can get out of the vicious circle, there is no difference. Hope to see a better Chile in a few years.
