From acclaimed Doc Master Patricio Guzmán: MY IMAGINARY COUNTRY
 “PATRICIO GUZMÁN, CHILE’S CINEMATIC CONSCIENCE, CHRONICLES THE UPRISING THAT SHOOK THE COUNTRY STARTING IN 2019.” —A. O. SCOTT, THE NEW YORK TIMESFrom Icarus Films MY IMAGINARY COUNTRY A film by Patricio GuzmánOn DVD and Digital January 24th Currently Streaming Exclusively on OVID.TVOne day, without warning, a revolution exploded. It was the event that master documentarian Patricio Guzmán had been waiting for and working toward all his life: a million and a half people in the streets of Santiago, the Chilean capital, demanding justice, education, health care, and a new constitution to replace the strident rules imposed on the country during the Pinochet military dictatorship. Urgent and topical, My Imaginary Country features harrowing front-line protest footage and interviews with the dynamic activist leaders who are bringing about a regime change. Guzmán powerfully connects Chile’s complex, bloody history to contemporary revolutionary social movements and the election of a popular new president.  One of Cinema’s greatest documentarians whose landmark films include:THE BATTLE OF CHILE, THE PINOCHET CASE, SALVADOR ALLENDE, andNOSTALGIA FOR THE LIGHT. *Theatrically Released in most major cities* “Unique, powerful.
