Nae Pasaran (1 hr 36 mins) 2018
The incredible story of the Scots who managed to ground half of Chile's Air Force, from the other side of the world, in the longest single act of solidarity against Pinochet's brutal dictatorship.
The BAFTA-winning true story of solidarity.
Meet Bob, Robert, Stuart and John, who held the longest single act of solidarity for Chile in protest against Pinochet's brutal dictatorship and have never found out what their impact had been.
Until now.
In 1974, Bob Fulton, an engine inspector at Rolls Royce East Kilbride rallied his colleagues to boycott jet engines of the Chilean Air Force. He'd seen their use during Pinochet's military coup in Chile on the 11 September 1973. Bob refused to work on the engine, alerted his colleagues and by the end of the day, all Chilean engines were stuck on the assembly lines.
They hold on for four years, until one night the engines mysteriously vanished.
NAE PASARAN is the painstakingly-documented account of the workers' stand and the impact we discovered 40 years later.
