  • [The 90’s raw: men against violence, building demolition, Letelier]

    [The 90’s raw: men against violence, building demolition, Letelier]

    Raw footage for the award-winning series The 90’s. The first section of tape is from the Brother Peace event, where people are gathered to stop violence against women. Strangely, the group seems almost apathetic about the subject, even though they have gathered for the purpose of acknowledging it. Various speakers get up and complain about rape, sexism, pornography, etc.

    The second part of the tape shows a building demolition at night, and Becker fruitlessly asks people about the building the next day. The widow of Orlando Letelier, Chilean ambassador to the U.S. during the Allende administration, who was later assassinated by the U.S.-installed Pinochet regime, talks about the political history of Chile as it affected her life. She explains the history of Chilean politics and her own involvement in feminist politics in Chile and the United States.
