<b>Master director Patricio Guzmán</b>, famed for his political
documentaries <i>(The Battle of Chile</i>, <i>The Pinochet Case</i>),
travels 10,000 feet above sea level to the driest place on earth,
the Atacama Desert, where atop the mountains astronomers from all
over the world gather to observe the stars. The sky is so
translucent that it allows them to see right to the boundaries of
the universe.<br>
<br>
The Atacama is also a place where the harsh heat of the sun keeps
human remains intact: those of Pre-Columbian mummies; 19th century
explorers and miners; and the remains of political prisoners,
“disappeared” by the Chilean army after the US-backed military
coup of September 11, 1973.<br>
<br>
While astronomers examine galaxies, at the foot of the mountains,
women, surviving relatives of the disappeared whose bodies were
dumped here, search, even after 25 years, for the remains of their
loved ones, to reclaim their families’ histories. Melding the
celestial quest of the astronomers and the earthly one of the
women, <b><i>Nostalgia for the Light</i></b> is a gorgeous,
moving, and deeply personal odyssey.<br>
<br>
"<i>Such a moving masterpiece... Nostalgia For The Light is
Guzmán's leap into a different sort of cinema: a philosophical
treatise that is as stunning to the eye as it is disturbing to
the brain... I was enthralled. So was the audience around me</i>."
~B. Ruby Rich, SF360<br>

Why should YOU care? It's YOUR money that pays for US/Israeli wars
- on Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Palestine, So America, etc etc - for
billionaire bailouts, for ever more ubiquitous US prisons, for the
