Starring Gael Garcia Bernal
A very instructive historical drama about the 1988 Chilean Plebiscite to determine whether dictator Augusto Pinochet should remain in power versus democratic elections. The main character, played with hypnotic appeal by Gael Garcia Bernal, organizes an advertising campaign, not based on the brutal abuses of the Pinochet regime, but on the joy and freedom of creating a new era in Chilean life. It demonstrates the value of emphasizing the positive despite immense pain associated with the negative.
