"Bringing Pinochet to Justice"

Recorded March 6, 2006

Below is the original description of the event.

Augusto Pinochet, Chile’s military dictator from 1973 until 1990, is under indictment in Santiago for kidnapping and murder, among other charges. He is currently free on bail and may face trial soon. Elizabeth Farnsworth will screen portions of her forthcoming documentary “The Pursuers” which follows the investigative work of Judge Juan Guzmán and others pursuing justice in Chile. The documentary takes viewers inside some of the most important investigations and cases and places them in context, showing how international human rights law has been fortified by Chileans’ efforts to hold Pinochet accountable for atrocities committed during his dictatorship.
