The Battle of Chile: Part II

The film "The Battle of Chile: Part II" chronicles the events immediately surrounding the CIA-supported coup itself, showing how opponents of left and right face off in the streets, workplaces, courts, and even parliament. Salvador Allende attempts to negotiate an accord with the center-right Democracy Christian party, but this is unsuccessful. In Valparaíso, military leaders prepare and plan the coup, supported by a broad segment of the middle class, creating a climate of civil war in the country. A million supporters bid farewell to President Salvador Allende on the eve of his overthrow.
