SYNOPSIS

Luis Sepuldeva’s world was turned upside down in Santiago, Chile on September 11th 1973, when General Pinochet took power during a coup d’état and President Salvador Allende committed suicide. Sepúlveda, a left-wing activist close to Allende, was taken prisoner and tortured. Tireless activist and globetrotter, Sepúlveda is above all an excellent story-teller.
