How did the dreams and visions of the past become the nightmare or nothingness of today? The Film “50 Years of Salvador Allende” captures the moment fifty years after the death of Salvador Allende and the militant rupture of Chile’s emancipatory, socialist, and democratic history in a small town in Germany, formerly part of the GDR. Centered around the “Salvador Allende” school’s 50th anniversary, serving today as a landmark of historical relationships between socialist nations worldwide during the second half of the 20th century, the film delves into contemporary socio-political alienation and educational disparities. The generations of teachers and students make this ideological gap tangible.
