Acclaimed documentarian Raymont follows celebrated writer Dorfman (Death And The Maiden) upon his emotionally charged return visit to Chile, the country he left after brutal dictator Augusto Pinochet came to power.

Personal and political, the film boasts startling archival footage and heartbreaking contemporary sequences as Dorfman deals with his past, recalls those he lost, and confronts the impact of Pinochet's rule and death on himself and others.
