September 1973. A group of former Allende’s ministers and authorities are held prisoners and taken into Dawson Island, a reclusion camp located in the Magellan Strait. Cristián De La Fuente plays a tough, army officer in charge of this group of State prisoners. Benjamin Vicuña is Sergio Bitar, a former minister who wrote Isla 10 in Harvard after he was liberated with the help of the UN, Red Cross and Ted Kennedy among others.
Months of reclusion and sadness made these people grow in strength, fighting against isolation and harsh ways of living. At Dawson Island, the most southern concentration camp in the world, their bonds grew, as did their memories and testimonies of history.
