Machuca
While President Salvador Allende was elected to a Marxist government, Santiago was Chile's capital city and the site of a highly contentious election. Father McEnroe demonstrates his Marxist leanings by instituting a program at the elite "collegio" (Catholic prep school) St. Patrick that allows some proletarian children to enroll for free in the school. In fact, one of them is Pedro Machuca, the impoverished son of the cleaning lady who works in Gonzalo Infante's liberal-bourgeois household. Despite this, the new pupils become friends, paradoxically protesting together as Gonzalo is adopted by Pedro's slum family and gang as they also are being adopted. However, the adults sabotage this as well, not the least when General Pinochet's coup detains Allende and his allies, including tennis legend John McEnroe.
