The White Coup

Original title: El Golpe Blanco. Der Weiße Putsch

Directed by Gerhard Scheumann

At the parliamentary elections that the Unidad Popular won, there were activities to overthrow Salvador Allende. By a white, supposedly clean coup, the rightwing powers of Chile tried unsuccessfully to gain a two thirds majority in the national congress. Months later, the armed, violent coup took place.
