Almost 42 years have passed since a military coup in Chile deposed the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende. The death of Allende and the years of military dictatorship that followed have left deep scars in both the country and in Allendes immediate family. In BEYOND MY GRANDFATHER ALLENDE, his granddaughter Marcia Tambutti Allende goes in search of Salvador Allende the man. She attempts to reconstruct the past through informal interviews with her family, quickly discovering that they dont talk about Chico, as he was affectionately known. Memories of him have been buried deep and seem too painful to drag up. Nevertheless, her compassionate but sharp interviewing style prompts the family to talk more about Allende. Marcia goes in search of family photos and videos, and as a result we get to know the kind of man her grandfather was.
