Victor Jara: An Unfinished Song

by Joan Jara

Victor Jara was a Chilean poet, singer, theatre director, and communist activist. He was tortured and killed after the coup of 11 September 1973, which overthrew the Salvador Allende government. This is the story of his remarkable life, told lovingly by his wife and fellow artist.

"As long as we sing his songs, as long as his courage can inspire us to greater courage, Victor Jara will never die", Pete Seeger.
