It's September of 1973, and Santiago, the capital city of Chile, is about to witness a bloody war. Soon, army tanks, directed by General Augustin Pinochet, will invade the peaceful city streets, setting the stage for a brutal coup d'etat, masterminded by America's C.I.A. "It's Raining on Santiago" is a powerful, dramatic re-telling of the events surrounding the military takeover of President Salvador Allendeu's government. Shot in a gritty realistic style with a talented ensemble cast, this film is a moving and gripping account of a country's struggle for survival against the dark forces of fascism.
Viewer Reviews Interesting portrayal of the military coup by the military supported by the CIA. Sentimentally aligned with the ordinary people, unionized workers, university students, and economic populists of Allende's Chile. It may invoke an interest to research how this history has evolved since the events of the movie. Pinochet's fall from grace via CIA collaborated murders in Washington? To the extent it is truly a documentary, it tended not to emphasize the degree to which Pinochet and his allied officers were schooled in the School of the Americas. Strangely missing much on the involvement or non-involvement of the Church in the takeover by a wealthy military secretive subset of society in a largely catholic country. Re-opens chapters I had forgotten, and aspects I never knew. The relevance to recent events in Venezuela and Haiti cannot be far from your mind as you watch.
