Chile after Pinochet: The search for the disappeared | DW Documentary

- Under Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship, thousands of Chileans disappeared without a trace, including the father and brother of Juan Eduardo Rojas-Vásquez. His quest to find out what happened to them led him to the Colonia Dignidad.
For 50 years, Juan Eduardo Rojas-Vásquez has been trying to find out what happened to his father and older brother. In September 1973, General Augusto Pinochet seized power in Chile in a violent coup. One month later, Juan's father and brother were arrested and never seen again. The family lived near the Colonia Dignidad, home to a pseudo-religious German sect founded by Paul Schäfer, who was later convicted of child sex abuse. He allowed the Chilean secret police to set up a detention and torture center on the grounds of the colony. Juan is convinced that his father and brother were murdered there, their bodies burned and buried. His father had been in a dispute with the landowner for whom he worked, while his brother was a member of the Communist Party - which was likely his death sentence. Now resident in Germany, Juan travels back to Chile in search of the truth about their disappearance.

After watching the Kissinger documentary on DW, I feel sorry for the people of Chile who were used as pawns in a global power gane.
Yup. Rich gotta rich. Poor gotta serve, suffer, and submit. This is just how humanity has rolled for thousands of years. Anything for a cell phone, fancy clothes, hired h00k3r$, a legion of cheesy products, and a yacht or three, I guess. :/
Let no one forget Pinochet is a creation of US imperialism
And Allende a URSS's creation.
How can you not move on after 50 years?
Oh irony... You could not even move on with your life after watching this video...

During the Cold War, my family in Denmark were fortunate enough to end up on the right side of the Iron Curtain. The post-war generations of Danes benefitted from the US, both militarily by being protected by NATO from any potential Soviet invasion, and econimically by receiving Marshall Aid to rebuild after the war.
For those Europeans who were lucky enough to have ended up on the right side of the Iron Curtain, the Americans were seen as the saviours from authoritarianism and the guarantors of peace, human rights, democracy, and progress. In fact, in the 1960s and 1970s Scandinavians probably had more wealth, freedom, peace, political right, civil rights and advanced healthcare than any other population at any point in history!
Meanwhile, in Latin America, the US supported some extremely cruel regimes (just like the Soviets and the Chinese did elsewhere in the world). No wonder the US has left a much more bitter legacy there than in Western Europe.
if I had the chance to choose, between Pinochet's/ US dictatorship vs USSR... I take the latter hands down.
I live in east Berlin now, I've met many people who lived here in the soviet times, and once I tell them some stories they end up horrified, what happened in Chile was plain genocide.
대한민국의 군부정권은 미국의 절대적 지지를 받았지요. 특히 1980년 새롭게 군대를 장악한 신군부는 광주에서 민간인을 학살하고 행정부를 장악하고 미국 레이건 대통령의 초청을 받아서 정통성을 인정받았지요.
Until now the US repeats the mistake, by supporting the claimed democracy in the Middle East, Israel!
There is pretty much a word in nearly every language for "the truly forgotten"; those who have disappeared, been wronged, and possibly sold into slavery. It's pretty creepy that here in the year 2024, mankind *STILL* does this to one another. But... yup... that's just how it goes. #StayClassyHumanity
Did the tormentors keep any video footage? This is real evil
that would have been expensive and an "evidence", so no way. in any case, once somebody disappeared, there was no trace at all, just stories.
uncertainty is a weapon, it drains you and makes you doubt,
The world can be cruel. Why should someone with a good parent lose that parent, yet someone like me, with a bad one, still has that parent. I do not wish mine dead, but by rights if anyone should have lost a parent between the two of us it should have been me, but the world does not spare the good, nor favour the bad
I want video about australia ❤❤❤
Why dont you do a video about all people who dissapeared in the communist German Democratic Republic? Probably many more people…
It's a pity that you watch this documentary and feel like pulling a whataboutism
@@Alaskan-Armadillo the problem is that focus is always in the same rulers. Real justice starts by avoiding partiality. Still waiting to see more information about dissapearances in Cuba, in Venezuela, in eastern europe soviet countries. Stop telling just one side of the story!
DW has made several such documentaries. They are not hard to find. Why don't you search for the type of videos that your find interesting, instead of writing irrelevant clueless comments on videos that clearly don't interest you?
@@kenster8270 because i am free to speak out. May you are no very used to listen to other opinions. I suggest you start adapting
This is not a competition!

have you checked the attic? they could be hiding in the attic
Look at all these commies
Just commies missing. NBD
🤡
if you have nothing intelligent or respectful to say consider keeping your mouth shut.
@@user-qi1gl how dare I have an non conformist left leaning opinion as you
If it wasn't for Pinochet, those thousands of communists he disappeared would have disappeared millions, like they did everywhere else. Pinochet saved Chile and millions of Chileans from communist evil, he was a hero. But DW is a commie channel, nothing new here. When will DW produce a segment about the hundreds of millions of victims of communism? Probably never.
really??? are you Chilean at least? I mean, apparently you are soooo sure about what were the people who disappear during that time I imagine you were living there or something like that...
Este medio es comunista?
Si
