ABOUT THE FILM: THE CHICAGO CONSPIRACY is based on anti-capitalist struggles in Chile since the Pinochet Dictatorship (student movements, community organizing and the Indigenous Mapuche uprising). The film takes its name from the 25 Chilean economists from the Chicago School of Economics who supported the making of the bloody Pinochet regime and in the implementation of neo-liberal, pro-corporate policies. The Chicago Conspiracy is a response to a global conspiracy of neoliberalism, militarism, and authoritarianism.
