I am looking at many Gael Garcia Bernal films as I can.

Today, the story of the campaign to take down the Pinochet regime in Chile.

No (2012)

Very exciting and informative. In a way Pinochet was an old fashioned dictator so he was naive about the power of television and, as it turns out, television advertising.

Bernal is a creative ad director and designs the campaign for NO, the vote to unseat the regime.

No one expects that the vote is any more than jerking the people off but the campaigners turn it around and it is the end of Pinochet.

Some real news clips are used and while I do not know for a fact that it is all factual, it does not deter from the drama and quality of this movie. A 5 out of Netflix5.
