Quotes

"Marianne Teleki is a sensitive and talented filmmaker who has been able to record in Salgado's personal tragedy, the troubles of a country under a brutal dictatorship….”
-Isabel Allende, Author

“Héctor Salgado is one of 35,000 Chileans who were incarcerated and tortured by Pinochet’s dictatorship. After many years of exile in the US he decides to return to Chile with a camera to show the world the face of his perpetrators. A dozen cowardly military officers appear before us incapable of explaining or take responsibility for their acts. This documentary, sincere and direct, gives audiences around the world a lesson in political memory. I ask myself what would have happened if each one of us 35,000 political prisoners would have done the same as Héctor. Surely we would have a much better democracy than the one we have today.”
-Patricio Guzmán, Documentary Filmmaker- BATTLE OF CHILE, CASE OF PINOCHET

“Special Circumstances is a moving first-hand account of one victim’s reencounter with his torturers. It converts a national tragedy into a compelling personal history. Juxtaposing past and present, it brings home the personal costs of political conflict in ways that history lessons rarely do.”
-Gwen Kirkpatrick, Professor, Georgetown University
