1
00:00:05,924 --> 00:00:08,206
Chile woke up.

2
00:00:17,081 --> 00:00:20,466
The wall in Santiago de Chile
learned to speak.

3
00:00:20,498 --> 00:00:24,085
They speak of rage,
misery, hope.

4
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,760
This is Avenida Liberador
General Bernardo O'Higgins,

5
00:00:29,843 --> 00:00:33,964
said Avenida Alamera,
Santiagos' most important street.

6
00:00:34,289 --> 00:00:36,489
Only two store are intact.

7
00:00:36,528 --> 00:00:40,162
The poultry store 
and the German store

8
00:00:40,234 --> 00:00:42,813
The metro station is destroyed.

9
00:00:43,056 --> 00:00:45,079
Others in the zone are closed.

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,400
Protesters say many 
prisoners have been abused.

11
00:00:59,552 --> 00:01:01,767
Plaza Italia has a new face.

12
00:01:01,887 --> 00:01:04,378
The monument to General Baquedano
became a wall.

13
00:01:04,569 --> 00:01:07,061
The place has a new name: 
Place of Dignity.

14
00:01:10,458 --> 00:01:12,805
The eyes burn, the 
throath becomes dry.

15
00:01:12,892 --> 00:01:15,478
Teargas.

16
00:01:15,734 --> 00:01:17,467
We're in Zone Zero.

17
00:01:17,710 --> 00:01:21,273
This place marks the inequality 
that so much aches the Chileans.

18
00:01:21,408 --> 00:01:25,144
On the one side precarity,
on the other: abundance.

19
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,160
Pensions, education, health!

20
00:01:33,257 --> 00:01:35,122
Only this we demand!

21
00:01:38,819 --> 00:01:41,478
Since October 18
this place became witness

22
00:01:41,574 --> 00:01:44,676
of a people that woke up.

23
00:01:46,017 --> 00:01:49,753
The dream of a successful 
neoliberalism in Latinamerica

24
00:01:49,841 --> 00:01:51,007
is over.

25
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,720
The rage expresses itself
through art, music,

26
00:01:58,303 --> 00:01:59,717
and dance.

27
00:02:05,668 --> 00:02:09,689
Since 50 days Chileans have 
been meeting up here every day.

28
00:02:10,148 --> 00:02:12,021
Some more, some less.

29
00:02:12,164 --> 00:02:16,452
They sind with courage, to exorcise 
the gost of military dictatorship,

30
00:02:16,579 --> 00:02:19,015
that opressed them for 17 years.

31
00:02:19,048 --> 00:02:20,754
The young take to the streets

32
00:02:20,849 --> 00:02:25,183
for the pledge of their parents 
and grandparents: "Never again!"

33
00:02:29,751 --> 00:02:32,568
Some meters away another 
expression of the protest:

34
00:02:32,624 --> 00:02:33,624
the combat.

35
00:02:33,711 --> 00:02:37,663
The active defence to 
protect the demonstration.

36
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,000
The First Line, 
Objective: containment.

37
00:02:44,085 --> 00:02:46,870
Shields of wood, 
brass, plastic.

38
00:02:46,950 --> 00:02:49,571
masks, hoods
scarfs, courage.

39
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,920
Second line, 
Objective: attack.

40
00:02:53,068 --> 00:02:57,410
Gloves, water canisters,
stones, marbles, atmosphere.

41
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Third line.
Objective: self-defence.

42
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,880
Green lasers, peojected 
on the masks of the adversary

43
00:03:09,944 --> 00:03:12,340
to restrain their sight.

44
00:03:16,694 --> 00:03:20,328
On the other side policemen,
called Pacos.

45
00:03:20,384 --> 00:03:24,701
Little tanks come, water cannons,
the teargas.

46
00:03:25,725 --> 00:03:27,566
Combats begins.

47
00:03:30,383 --> 00:03:33,351
Gas and water 
wet the Chileans.

48
00:03:33,476 --> 00:03:35,684
Nobody is spared:
peaceful or violent,

49
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,320
old, young, women.

50
00:03:43,705 --> 00:03:44,705
First aiders!

51
00:03:51,604 --> 00:03:54,137
This are volounteer 
first aiders.

52
00:03:54,215 --> 00:03:56,667
They evacuate the injured 
from the combat zone.

53
00:03:56,707 --> 00:03:59,508
At first they were five, 
now they're 83.

54
00:03:59,647 --> 00:04:03,611
Men and women who provide 
First Aid on the ground.

55
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,520
Their head quarters are  
one minute away from Zone Zero.

56
00:04:13,585 --> 00:04:16,521
They are independent,
not part of any political affiliation.

57
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,021
It's injuries from rubber 
bullets, teargas bombs,

58
00:04:21,284 --> 00:04:25,729
contusions, every 
type of trauma.

59
00:04:25,955 --> 00:04:31,063
We had several 
serious eye traumas.

60
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:35,571
We also medicated people
with abdominnal traumas,

61
00:04:35,865 --> 00:04:38,877
and facial injuries.

62
00:04:39,280 --> 00:04:42,200
Medical equipment, stretchers,
communication equipment,

63
00:04:42,242 --> 00:04:43,766
shields and helmets.

64
00:04:43,845 --> 00:04:46,750
They say there is 
systematic violence

65
00:04:46,845 --> 00:04:50,075
against protesters
and first aiders.

66
00:04:51,567 --> 00:04:55,106
The chemical that is used

67
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,480
causes a strong irritation.

68
00:04:59,805 --> 00:05:04,872
We had never before seen 
people convulsed with pain

69
00:05:04,934 --> 00:05:07,616
because of the chemicals
they have been exposed to.

70
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:10,116
Now we have.

71
00:05:10,362 --> 00:05:12,036
Carlos is 49 years old.

72
00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:14,063
He is a chemical analyst 
and first aider.

73
00:05:14,187 --> 00:05:17,313
Never in his live he has seen
so much violence.

74
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,960
In two cases people 
who pressed charges

75
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,960
have been sexually abused
by Carabinieros

76
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,240
and then thrown into the streets.

77
00:05:27,933 --> 00:05:29,631
More then 50 days of protest.

78
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,480
What enrages the Chileans:
the impunity, the abuses,

79
00:05:33,544 --> 00:05:36,356
the system, that 
held them in misery:

80
00:05:36,452 --> 00:05:39,222
they don't have enough to live.

81
00:05:39,381 --> 00:05:44,023
Minimum wage (295.000 Pesos) 
Rent, water, gas, electricity,

82
00:05:44,070 --> 00:05:46,840
transport, education, food.

83
00:05:46,975 --> 00:05:50,673
Ant the pensions? 
they don't suffice.

84
00:05:51,269 --> 00:05:54,194
Although Chile 
has so much coast,

85
00:05:54,274 --> 00:05:56,940
fish is more expensive then meat.

86
00:05:57,139 --> 00:05:58,749
No, it's not enough.

87
00:05:59,361 --> 00:06:03,285
Chileans say, they won't stop
until this has changed.
