DESCRIPTION:Our usual discussion following the film will be led by Andres Cediel, 
 co-producer of the film. A graduate of UC Berkeley Graduate School of 
 Journalism, Cediel is a filmmaker and journalist, currently producing 
 documentaries for Frontline/World. \n\nAs everyone with much knowledge of 
 Latin American history knows, the 1973 military coup in Chile sent 
 reverberations throughout the hemisphere. Abetted by the CIA, the IMF, and 
 Nixon administration, Gen. Augusto Pinochet seized power, killing elected 
 socialist President Salvador Allende in the royal palace. Sixteen horrific 
 years later, sensing the waning of their brutal military rule, Gen. 
 Pinochet and his cronies negotiated a transition to civilian government 
 intended to guarantee them a heavy hand in succeeding governments — and 
 immunity from prosecution. \n\nThe Judge and the General is a profile of 
 inspirational courage, the unusual story of the man who challenged that 
 immunity and literally unearthed evidence of the "disappeared." Juan 
 Guzman, a modest, conservative judge who had long been a Pinochet 
 supporter, was also an idealist with a commitment to justice, however 
 delayed. His fortitude in finding out the truth about the Pinochet regime 
 — including his own blindness to that truth — has unleashed a whirlwind 
 of repressed emotions in Chile and written a new chapter in human rights 
 law.\n\nThis event is a collaboration with P.O.V., the PBS award-winning 
 nonfiction film series.  \n\nAdmission free.  Wheelchair accessible.\n
