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.
