Synopsis

In 1907 the workers of northern Chile organized a strike of gigantic proportions, with the aim of improving the living conditions of thousands of miners who were exploited by foreign companies. The response of the Chilean oligarchy consisted of what is historically known as the slaughter of Iquique, this event more noticeable decrease vandalism did not get the combativeness of the Chilean working class. From this statement, which serves as a bridge for the development of the film's allegorical episodes based on history and the revolutionary spirit, evoke the martyr heroes and people in their political struggle.
