Watch El Patio

Three gravediggers lovingly maintain the peaceful cemetery in the center of the Chilean capital of Santiago. At the same time, however, they carry a dark secret: after the coup in 1973, they had to surreptitiously bury the bodies of thousands of political prisoners. A demonstration calling for justice shows that the past will not allow itself to be buried.

El Patio is a 2016 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 21 minutes.
