High in mountainous northern Chile, the arid Atacama Desert is one of the best places on Earth to observe the night sky. It was also where the brutal Pinochet regime imprisoned and executed thousands of foes. Chilean filmmaker Patricio Guzmán juxtaposes the quests of two groups of people─astronomers peering into the cosmos and relatives searching for the remains of loved ones killed in captivity─in this moving documentary. 90 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: Spanish Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English; bonus shorts. In Spanish with English subtitles.
