When Chilean judge Juan Guzmán was assigned the first criminal case against the countrys ex-dictator, General Augusto Pinochet, no one expected much. After all, the conservative judge had supported Pinochet and believed the generals version of events: that the tales of mass murder and systematic violations of human rights were mostly Communist propaganda and any excesses committed by the military were the unfortunate consequences of a dire struggle. The filmmakers trace the judges descent into what he calls &147;the abyss,&148; where he uncovers the past and his own role in the tragedy. 84 minutes.English and Spanish with subtitles.
