Remembering the Sept 11, 1973 Military Coup in Chile

by Adam Isacson

On September 11, 1973, democracy came to a violent end in Chile. Joe Eldridge, the chaplain of American University, was there. Here, he recounts the terror of those days, and the revelations of the U.S. role, which led him to co-found WOLA a year later.

Joe mentions the 1982 Costa-Gavras film Missing, which WOLA highly recommends as we reflect on one of Latin America’s darkest moments.
