It is difficult for me to talk about this story, my story.
I grew up with my mother, without a father.
A bastard.
At the age of 35, I found my father and discovered that he had murdered political opponents during the dictatorship in Chile.
Unrecognized son of a police chief during the Pinochet dictatorship, I embarked on a 14-years journey to find him and confront him.
I filmed every moment.
During this trip, I searched for and met the children of my father's victims. I also looked for and met my peers whose fathers committed murders on behalf of the regime.
My experience evolved into a project to recover memory, truth and justice in a country unable to deal with its dark past, where most of the political crimes are still unpunished. Impunity has been granted to most of them.
This is a story of betrayal, for some, of nobility, for others.

Bastard, the Legacy of a Criminal offers insight into the Chilean post-dictatorship patriarchy and how we cam collectively take responsibility for the historical legacy of murder and human rights violations to build a sustainable and equitable future for all.
