Housewife Transformed into Reluctant Hero Against Brutal Dictatorship

Carmen, a retired nurse and indifferent housewife in Chile, has her complacency shattered when she is asked to care for a wounded member of the resistance against Pinochet's oppressive regime.
Though Carmen tries to avoid politics and violence in her country, she still has a strong sense of empathy and volunteers to help the blind in her community.
When a Communist in need of medical aid enlists her help, Carmen becomes embroiled in the movement against Pinochet's authoritarian control over Chile.
The film "Chile '76" is a character study of Carmen's journey from neutrality to taking a stand against injustice.
Though the mission is dangerous, Carmen and other ordinary citizens try to do what is right in the face of tyranny.
