Dutch premiere of Nae Pasaran
1974. In solidarity against the brutal Chilean coup six months earlier, Scottish factory workers know where they stand. They refuse to repair aircraft engines from the Chilean Air Force. Through sheer persistence, they keep the engines in Scotland for four years, until they mysteriously vanish one night. Forty years later, the tremendous impact of their gesture, long believed to be meaningless, is finally revealed.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with the film director, Felipe Bustos Sierra.
