Pinochet's Last Stand (Pan & Scan)
Item 026359424021
The unprecedented arrest of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, at age 82, is the subject for this fascinating film. After wresting power in 1973, Pinochet ruled with an iron fist. Infamous for stamping out all opposition, his regime was known for its cruelty, with thousands suffering murder and torture. While vacationing in London in 1998, he met his downfall, arrested for crimes against humanity. Derek Jacobi (I, CLAUDIUS) gives a brilliant performance in this story about the final chapter in the life of one of history's most notorious figures.
