September 11: Remembering the Resistance to Pinochet’s Chile

On September 11, 1973, tanks rumbled over the streets of Santiago, Chile. Planes bombed La Moneda, the presidential palace, as US-backed General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. It was a dark, dark moment in Chile’s history. Pinochet would unleash a bloody regime that would grip power until 1990. During his rule, thousands were rounded up, detained, tortured, and executed.<br /><br />But there was resistance.<br /><br />In this special bonus episode of Stories of Resistance, we showcase four different vignettes of people standing up to the evil in which Pinochet enveloped the country in the early 1970s, and the fight for truth, justice, and memory that continues to this day. <br /><br />These stories have been published at different times in this podcast series over the last year. Here are links to the individual stories. They were all researched and reported by journalist and host Michael Fox.<br /><br /><a href="https://therealnews.com/stories-of-resistance-victor-jaras-last-words" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Episode 1 </a>- The Last Words of Victor Jara<br /><a href="https://therealnews.com/liquor-store-resistance-1973-chile" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Episode 33</a> - Liquor Store Resistance<br /><a href="https://therealnews.com/the-women-of-calama-searching-in-the-desert" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Episode 38</a> - The Women of Calama<br /><a href="https://therealnews.com/chiles-bulnes-bridge-remembering-the-past-honoring-the-victims" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Episode 62</a> - Chile’s Bulnes Bridge <br /><br />This is the latest episode of <a href="https://therealnews.com/stories-of-resistance" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Stories of Resistance</a>—a podcast produced by <a href="https://therealnews.com/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">The Real News</a>.
