from
Wikipedia
In the 1960s and 1970s, documentary film was often conceived as a political weapon against neocolonialism and capitalism in general, especially in Latin America, but also in a changing Quebec society.
La Hora de los hornos ( The Hour of the Furnaces, from 1968 ), directed by Octavio Getino and Fernando E. Solanas, influenced a whole generation of filmmakers.
Among the many political documentaries produced in the early 1970s was " Chile: A Special Report ," public television's first in-depth expository look of the September 1973 overthrow of the Salvador Allende government in Chile by military leaders under Augusto Pinochet, produced by documentarians Ari Martinez and José Garcia.
