Film Screening: "Machuca"

Recorded March 12, 2006

Below is the original description of the event.

Set in Santiago, Chile during the last days of Salvador Allende’s presidency, “Machuca” explores the friendship that grows between shy, middle-class Gonzalo and streetwise Machuca when a private Catholic boy’s school opens its doors to a handful of children from the nearby shantytown. The boys are fascinated by each other’s respective worlds, and through their eyes we see the deep divisions that split their society. 121 minutes. Spanish with English subtitles.
