A portrait of a brutal military dictatorship made during a three month visit to Chile in 1985 by David Bradbury. The footage reveals a country torn with civil strife and political unrest; military intimidation of the population; indiscriminate arrests: murder torture and disappearances were facts of Chilean life. Bradbury’s film traces the 12 years from 1973 to 1985 of General Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship whose forces seized power in a bloody, US-backed coup that left Marxist president Salvador Allende dead and with him any hopes of democracy remaining in Chile. Under General Pinochet’s rule 50,000 Chileans have been detained, and many are missing, believed dead.

Collier presents a timely and fresh reexamination of one of the most important bilateral relationships of the last century. He delves deeply into the American desire to promote democracy in Iran from the 1940s through the early 1960s and examines the myriad factors that contributed to their success in exerting a powerful influence on Iranian politics. By creating a framework to understand the efficacy of external pressure, Collier explains how the United States later relinquished this control during the 1960s and 1970s. During this time, the shah emerged as a dominant and effective political operator who took advantage of waning American influence to assert his authority. Collier reveals how this shifting power dynamic transformed the former client-patron relationship into one approaching equality.

In 2012, after two years of procedures, Michaël Sztanke and Julien Alric eventually obtained a visa for North Korea. They came back from their first trip with official images. They could not observe what was hidden behind the showcase of Pyongyang. In 2014, they once again obtained a visa so they could finish their movie. This second submersion in the hermit kingdom allowed them to answer the questions left unresolved during their first trip. How do the North Koreans live ? What is the true nature of this ubuesque regime ? They also travelled to South Korea in order to meet North Korean refugees who miraculously escaped and testified.
Se´lectionne´ pour le Prix Albert Londres 2013.

Contraint par le strict dispositif d’encadrement des autorite´s de Pyongyang, il parvient a` imposer, en creux, dans le flot des images officielles, un regard critique. Et laisse filtrer la voix des dissidents re´fugie´s en Core´e du Sud que le re´alisateur a rencontre´s. »- Te´le´ramaMichaël Sztanke a ve´cu 4 ans a` Pe´kin comme correspondant de RFI (Radio France Internationale) avant de rejoindre le service international a` Paris. En 2007, il part s’installer a` Hong Kong. De la`, il sillonne l’Asie et re´alise de nombreux reportages pour Arte, Canal+, France 2, France 24 et M6.

Filmed on location at La Plata, Castro's former guerrilla headquarters- the first time any foreign film crew had been permitted there - the documentary examines the origins of Castro's revolution, and its ultimate successes and failures. It places U.S.-Cuban relations within the context of history, dating back to the Spanish-American War in 1898. The documentary goes on to paint a canvas of everyday Cuban life. It contrasts the successes of Cuba - medical care, education and housing - with the often repressive political measures implemented by the Castro government. We hear from Cuban artists, State Department officials, exiled writers, and Fidel Castro himself. We visit the Psychiatric Hospital, the Women's Prison, and a library to see what books are available. This film does full justice to its complex subject. It is neither a rationale for Communist Cuba nor a political tool for Cuban exiles. It will interest audiences of all political persuasions.
