Gérman Berger-Hertz grew up in the shadow of his father, Carlos Berger, killed in 1973 by the Pinochet regime. Deeply personal and suspenseful, Berger-Hertz’s powerfully cinematic documentary chronicles the heroic action that led to his father’s death, considers the event’s devastating impact on his family, and confronts not only the horrors of Chile’s past but also the unspoken truths about his own. A Q&A with Gérman Berger-Hertz follows the screening. (Chile, 2010, 83 min. No MPAA rating. In Spanish with English subtitles.)
