{"product_id":"clandestine-in-chile","title":"Clandestine In Chile","description":"In 1973, the film director Miguel Littín fled Chile after a U.S.-supported military coup toppled the democratically elected socialist government of Salvador Allende. The new dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, instituted a reign of terror and turned Chile into a laboratory to test the poisonous prescriptions of the American economist Milton Friedman. In 1985, Littín returned to Chile disguised as  a Uruguayan businessman. He was desperate to see the homeland he’d been exiled from for so many years; he also meant to pull off a very tricky stunt: with the help of three film crews from three different countries, each supposedly busy making a movie to promote tourism, he would secretly put together a film that would tell the truth about Pinochet’s benighted Chile—a film that would capture the world’s attention while landing the general and his secret police with a very visible black eye. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfterwards, the great novelist Gabriel García Márquez sat down with Littín to hear the story of his escapade, with all its scary, comic, and not-a-little surreal ups and downs. Then, applying the same unequaled gifts that had already gained him a Nobel Prize, García Márquez  wrote it down.\u003ci\u003e Clandestine in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e is a true-life adventure story and a classic of modern reportage.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57317373280638,"sku":"NW9781590173404","price":13.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781590173404.jpg?v=1778658453","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/clandestine-in-chile","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
