Plot
The 1973 Chilean coup d'état resulted in President Salvador Allende being overthrown and Augusto Pinochet coming to power in Chile. This film tells the story of the former members of Allende's cabinet, who were arrested and incarcerated in a political prison, specially designed as a concentration camp on Dawson Island, Tierra del Fuego. The camp had been used in the early 20th century to house Selk'nam and other indigenous peoples, moving them from the main island to end their interference with the large sheep ranches that had been established, as they persisted in hunting in their former territories.

In 1973 hundreds of other suspected communists and political dissidents were also imprisoned on Dawson Island by Pinochet's government. Under the strict control of the Chilean Navy, these men struggled to survive the freezing temperatures and harsh conditions.
