Join as for a viewing of No which was directed by Pablo Larraín.

About the film:

"In 1988, Chilean military dictator Augusto Pinochet, due to international pressure, is forced to call a plebiscite on his presidency. The country will vote YES or NO to Pinochet extending his rule for another eight years. Opposition leaders of the NO vote persuade a brash young advertising executive, René Saavedra (Gael García Bernal), to spearhead their campaign. Against all odds, with scant resources and under scrutiny by the despot's minions, Saavedra and his team devise an audicious plan to win the election and set the Chile free." (Further information).

Note that the film, which is adapted from a play by Antonio Skarmeta, uses "archival footage and fictionalized characters" including the main character of Rene Saavedra in it's retelling of the “No” campaign in Chile (The Story Of 'No' Is The Story Of Modern Chile for further).(See further details about the film, One Prism on the Undoing of Pinochet)
