Guzman’s My Imaginary Country highlights the women perspective of revolutionary politics in Chile. The film feels like a direct sequel to the dark events captured in Guzman’s early work, showing how new waves of generations post Pinochet have raised up against tyrannical militant figures who are trying to suppress their rights to protest for a new constitution. What was the most captivating for me was the visuals of hundreds of women chanting the poem together blindfolded and taking back their bodily autonomy and pointing out the challenges of living in a patriarchal society.
