This vivid portrayal of Chile from the 1973 military coup shows terror, demonstrations, repression by the military and police, marches, a state of siege, and peaceful reactions. The film juxtaposes rarely seen scenes of the ceremony, pomp and parades of General Augusto Pinochet and his cohorts against the at-first ineffectual and ultimately successful opposition in the streets. It is a powerful and eloquent reminder of the evils of autocratic rule that resonate in today’s debate about Pinochet’s fate.

According to legend, God gave Vincente Ferrer, patron saint of Juchitan, a bagful of queers, and everywhere he travelled, he left behind a homosexual. But when he reached Juchitan, Vincente's bag came undone, spilling all the homosexuals out in the town. This is the story of a town in Mexico that has a very different attitude toward homosexuality than any of the areas surrounding it.
