“This argument seems to be untrue, because the detainees did not know each other before and did not coordinate to injure the officer. The accusation is serious and is punishable by 10 to 20 years of imprisonment.”

Hopefully, people will be moved by my films — I hope they have a different perspective when they leave the cinema. I want my films to change lives. Once, someone wrote to me after watching “La vida de los peces” (The life of fish”) to say the film had inspired them to break up with her boyfriend. To touch someone in that way is so deep.

“We have again and again insisted that the special lanes — which are constructed with public money — must be used by all public transportation vehicles, of which 'colectivos' are a part. We have not encouraged blockades in the streets, but deeply regret that it has come to this for us to be heard.”

US Director Zack Snyder will be rolling out his newest movie “Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice” in 2016, but it is not the Caped Crusader nor the Kryptonite-fearing superhero who are making the headlines in Chile. Instead, the Internet is rife with rumours about another of the film’s characters: the Chilean President.

“There are many studies conducted by the Health Ministry and the World Health Organization (WHO) which link air pollution to health issues experienced by vulnerable people — like elderly and children — but also correlate the accumulation of more chronic effects and development of diseases."

  • Philip Althouse The effects of air pollution vary by the type of pollutant. I note that a major concern in Santiago is auto emissions. Particulates from auto exhaust are especially noxious. Due to their small size they can be inhaled and cause inflammation deep in the lungs which can trigger a host of maladies over time.

“The sport, and its social function, have not changed substantially since its conception many years ago. Its numerous purposes come from its role as a form of escape, a social cohesive and a mediator of conflict. The past social function of palín has to be understood in a certain social and historical context. Above all, palín is more than just a sport — it is an exercise in cultural resistance and identity.”
