Cuba, an isolated island nation, rebuilt its quality of life following the collapse of cheap oil, supplied by the former Soviet Union.

503
2007 – London, UK - 33 min
Director: Isabel Rodriguez
For 503 days protestors demonstrated their support for a trial for dictator Augusto Pinochet in Spain - who sought his extradition from UK under charges of torture and murder during the Chilean dictatorship 1973 - 1990. Participating in what became known as the piquete de londres following the arrest of Pinochet in London, 16 October 1998, protestors clamoured for justice for the disappearance and murder of over 4,000 people of different nationalities, mostly Chilean. They occupied Parliament Square, the stretch outside the House of Lords and as close as possible to Pinochet's residence in Virginia Waters. "503" mixes real footage and news reports with individual testimony. This short film explores personal experiences describing the historical and renewed feelings to support a trial for Pinochet, challenging a system of amnesty that protects a history of injustice in Chile.

The Ecomemoria Project

Ecomemoria is closely linked to another program of our organization: Memoria Viva,
Memoria Viva, to ensure that each tree that is planted for each victim, is linked to the person's story, including historical and personal information.
Viola Chilensis
Violeta Parra was a sensible, intense and anti-establishment folk musician of the 1950s and 1960s, and considered to be the leader in the resurgence of traditional music in Chile. We see her sing, dance, weave, paint, and discuss the concepts of her work. Alongside rare recordings of her performances, the film features interviews with family and friends including her brothers, poet Nicanor and jazz maestro Tio Lalo Parra, her daughter, singer Isabel Parra, and fellow musicians Silvio Rodriguez, Mercedes Sosa, Inti Illimani and more.
