Public figures openly supportive of the Pinochet regime appear in the documentary, such as Joaquín Lavín, Cristián Labbé, Raúl Hasbún, Patricia Maldonado, Francisco Javier Cuadra, Hermógenes Pérez de Arce, among others, in addition to showing anonymous Pinochetists from different social classes.[2] The film attempts to reduce critical analyzes of Pinochetism to a minimum, which focus primarily on the opinion of the historian Alfredo Jocelyn-Holt and the director's own voiceover.

The documentary was shown on French, Swiss, Australian and English television. He participated in the film festivals of Biarritz and Valparaíso, in the latter he won the "Santiaguillo award" in September 2002.[1]
