'Kill Pinochet', a Film To Be Premiered in Havana Film Festival
<p>In 1986, the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front shot down Augusto Pinochet's vehicle. It was a near-perfect plan, but the dictator survived.</p>
Cuba's Havana Film Festival Friday will premiere "Killing Pinochet," a film based on real events that recounts the Manuel Rodriguez Patriotic Front (FPMR) attack on Chile's dictator Augusto Pinochet in 1986.
In 80 minutes, the film directed by Juan Sabatini revived the preparations for the attack that Chile remembers as 'the Operation of the 20th Century'.
The assault arrangements began in 1980, seven years after Pinochet led the bombing of the La Moneda Palace to overthrow President Salvador Allende.
On September 7, 1986, the tyrant's vehicle was shot down while returning to Santiago city from his rest home in Cajon del Maipo. Five bodyguards were killed and Pinochet was wounded in his left hand.
i hope they do the inglorious bastards approach and have the FPMR actually kill Pinochet
