Overview

The Opposition shows the overthrow of democratically elected Chilean President Salvador Allende from a new perspective. This time, the eyes looking at this horror of history belong to the men of the 1974 Chilean national soccer team, who, as public figures, had to walk a careful line of private outrage at the coup and subsequent crackdown by General Augustine Pinochet. This short documentary explains the political situation efficiently with the impact of outside involvement from the U.S., but the focus is on the men who simply wanted to play futbol for their country and were instead made pawns in a much bigger game of geopolitics.
