What is The Chacabuco Project?
The Chacabuco Project is a public awareness and fundraising campaign for the upcoming documentary by filmmaker Niles Atallah.
Chacabuco: The Desert’s Skin will be a 30 minute film on the abandoned nitrate mining town and Pinochet-era prison camp in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile. The documentary will focus on Roberto Zaldívar, the sole resident of Chacabuco, once a concentration camp prisoner here some 30 years ago.
To learn more, read the full treatment on the official Chacabuco Project website.
