SALVADOR ALLENDE at Laemmle's Grande 4-Plex in L. A.

Patricio Guzmán's (The Battle of Chile) new film tells the story of Salvador Allende, from his youth in Valparaiso and his early career, to his presidency of Chile and death during the coup of September 11, 1973. It is the film that Andrew O'Hehir of salon.com called, "A haunting exploration of the Allende paradox... deserves to be widely seen."

SALVADOR ALLENDE will be playing from November 16-22. Please check the Grande's website for more information.
