About the film
Chile woke up on October 18th, 2019.
The streets are flooded with people demanding to be heard, united by the slogan "until dignity becomes customary.” While some people peacefully demonstrate, others, known as the "front line", confront the police to ensure the safety of the demonstrators. This entire situation is metaphorically and poetically depicted through the voice of Eduardo Galeano as he reads his poem "El derecho al delirio" (The Right to Delirium).
