MACHUCA is set in Chile in 1973, as socialist president Salvador Allende’s reign was being questioned. Many were inspired to address the issues of the gulf between Chile's rich and poor. Father McEnroe, the headmaster of an exclusive private school, decides to confront this matter by giving a handful of poor children a full scholarship. Pedro Machuca is one of the new students, and he's soon befriended by wealthy Gonzalo Infante. But the political and economic differences that are dividing the country find their way into the school, threatening a rift between the two friends. (Chile, 2004; NR)
