The Shadows of Power: Uncovering Chile's Hidden History Through Film Fernando Guzzoni's latest project, "Land of the Savages," is a film that promises to shake the foundations of Latin America's complex past.
As a director who has already made waves with his Venice winning screenplay for "Blanquita," Guzzoni returns to the festival scene with a new narrative that explores the darkest corners of Chile's history, which have been eerily silenced by official accounts.
The story centers on two characters: Elías, a powerful slave owning businessman haunted by nightmares of his past; and Francisco, an abolitionist whose progressive ideals are threatened by the prospect of social change.
