Contents/Summary

Summary
“Memories of a Dreamer” is a first-person account of the hardship suffered by a political prisoner in Chile's 1973 cruel dictatorship. Felix Mora recounts shocking details of the torture he endured, his escape from the dictatorship and the challenges he has faced as an exile in Italy and Canada. The question is whether Felix has allowed torture and exile to shatter his dreams of obtaining justice and being able to return to Chile? Or has he tapped into that suffering for strength to accomplish that dream? Archival footage, dramatization and personal narratives bring this film to light.
