Following a preview screening of my new Alborada Films documentary ‘Mother, Country’ in London on Saturday 8 June in London, England, the official world premiere takes places at the Showroom cinema in Sheffield on Wednesday 3 July - for more info click here (Facebook event page here).
Filmed over more than three years, this is how I've described the documentary:
"Pablo Navarrete's parents were forced to leave Chile after a military coup on 11 September 1973. They arrived in the UK as political refugees after spending time in the Pinochet dictatorship’s torture centres. They didn’t know it then, but Britain would be where they would settle, have a family, and still live, nearly 50 years later. Filmed over more than three years, Mother, Country is a deeply personal film that follows the director as he travels to Chile with his parents in 2020 to witness a people’s uprising and finally confront their past.”
I've written a short article about the film which you can read here.
There is a second London screening of the film on Saturday 13 July - for more info click here. More screening in he UK and beyond will be announced shortly via the Alborada Films newsletter - subscribe here.
