- Summary:
- "This remarkable film tells a story never before documented: While their parents battled the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, a group of children were raised in Europe, safely and communally. The 20 adults who supervised "Project Home" saw over sixty children through to adulthood, children whose mothers and fathers--militant MIR members--fought in their homeland to fight for freedom, many never to be seen again. In The Chilean Building, patriotic duty took another form--childcare rather than warfare--as these adoptive, communal parents assumed responsibility for their charges for years to come. In this remarkable documentary, director Macarena Aguilọ, herself a product of Project Home, provides an intimate, behind-the-scenes examination of a grand and surprising social and political experiment."--Magic Lantern Films website.
