  • "Explores how a small group of people in Madrid laid the groundwork for the incredible feat of catching a dictator 25 years after his rise to power. Crucial to the legal case against Pinochet were the testimonies of victims of the crimes of the his regime. Hundreds of Chileans, relatives of the "disappeared," ex-prisoners who suffered torture and interrogation in secret prisons, traveled to Madrid to testify. The film movingly incorporates their stories and also follows the workings of the British legal system that ensued."

En septembre 1973, le communiste Salvador Allende est élu à la tête du Chili. Le général Augusto Pinochet réalise un coup d'État avec l'aide de la CIA. ll installe une dictature dans le pays pendant 25 ans. Un procureur espagnol découvre dans les textes de lois qu'il est possible de porter plainte contre le général. Une procédure s'engage à la fois en Espagne, au Chili et en Angleterre où le général a été arrêté. À travers cette bataille judiciaire, les victimes du régime se dévoilent et commencent peu à peu à sortir de l'ombre. [www.première.fr]."
  • "Part 1 examines the combined efforts of the legal fraternity and human rights activists over several years in Spain, the UK and Chile - to bring General Augusto Pinochet to trial for crimes of genocide and torture, during the period of his dictatorship in Chile. As well as detailing the frustrations of the drawn-out legal process, it also focuses on the testimony of a number of Chileans who provided evidence of their own detention and torture, or the disappearance of relatives. Part 2 looks at the international community's struggle to reach a consensus on whether heads of state can be tried for crimes against humanity carried out by their subordinates. Both the pros and cons of the Pinochet case are put forward by British politicians, and Spanish and Chilean lawyers and journalists. Interspersed through the story of the various legal and political proceedings are witness statements which gather in intensity as the program progresses."@en
