In the episode, we head to Chile with the unforgettable film by Lucio Rojas, Trauma (2017). A film inspired by the true events of the 17 year dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, its' brutal realism gives us an unflinching glimpse into the world of his regime and the intergenerational trauma that follows. Trauma keeps to its word - you will never be the same once witnessing it for the first time.
