		Jara was with the people every step of the way, till September 11th, 1973, when Jara became one of the dissidents, radicals, and trade unionists herded into the Estadio Chile, where he had played in support of Allende just three years before.
		What was so dangerous about Jara was that his songs were integral part of a struggle of millions who were fighting to win their basic human dignity -- the very same people over whom Pinochet ruled with an iron fist until his deposition in 1990.
		Jara's music was truly the music of the people, and that is why it has inspired every generation even after his death.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Reviews \| Companero: Victor Jara Of Chile (1974)
		Companero is a brilliant film in great part owing to its subject matter: the life of an inspirational singer whose struggle for justice in his country, Chile, ended in his assassination at the hands of a brutal military dictatorship after the coup of 11 September 1973.
		The film is centred on an interview with his widow, Joan, who describes Victor's life, his origins, his remarkable determination and also importantly, his sense of fun.
		The film is deeply moving, with Martin Smith and Stanley Forman capturing special moments amongst simple families, amongst the workers and amongst crowds of Chilean folk whose hopes were dashed on that fateful "other" 9-11.
