‘In the Name of God’

Chile-Spain, 1987, 95 minutes , 10 p.m . Patricio Guzman (“Battle of Chile”) returned to Chile for Spanish TV to record his people’s plight. Focusing on the Catholic church’s Vicarage of Solidarity’s valiant work to help victims of the brutal Pinochet regime, Guzman shows us a wide spectrum of people risking their lives to protest constant and systematic oppression. It is a portrait of courage from a truly committed film maker. RECOMMENDED.
