A brief but very intense cine-tract by the GDR filmmaking duo Walter Heynowski and Gerhard Scheumann. While hearing President Allende’s farewell speech given shortly before his suicide, we see archive images of the military coup, photographs and writings. In the background, noises of gunshots and shelling during the assault on La Moneda.
