Maite Alberdi has become Chile’s most prominent documentary maker. Her films include "Tea Time," about a monthly salon of women; "The Grown-Ups", about adults with Downs Syndrome; and "The Mole Agent" that’s a comic detective story inside a nursing home.

Her new work is "The Eternal Memory." She follows the journalist Augusto Gongora and his wife Paulina Urrutia as they cope with Augusto’s experience with Alzheimer’s syndrome. The film won the World Documentary Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival where it was bought by MTV Documentary Films for distribution.

Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviewed Maite in March at the CPH:DOX festival. Hear their previous interview about "The Mole Agent" on episode 119.
