Andrés from La Victoria
During a protest, French priest André Jarlan was shot and killed on September 4, 1984, in the La Victoria neighborhood of Santiago. The residents arrived on foot to the Cathedral demanding justice, also offering a testimony of love and solidarity with their pastor. In parallel, the documentary tells the story of the 1957 occupation that gave rise to the town. It also reveals the strong organization of the residents, essential in addressing the economic hardship and repression suffered by one of the main popular bastions of opposition to the military dictatorship. Pierre Dubois, the parish priest of La Victoria, played a leading role in the attempt to stop the violence against the residents of the town. In recognition of his work, he was granted Chilean nationality in 2001.
