Originally Actas De Marusia, this Mexican film re-creates a dark chapter in the history of Chile. The scene is a small Chilean mining town in 1907. Suffering under the despotic rule of the British mine owners, the workers stage a revolt. The government's solution is to utterly destroy the town rather than allow the rebellion to spread. Letters from Marusia was adapted from a novel by Patricio Manns, which in turn was based on eyewitness accounts of the 1907 massacre. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In The House in the South, a group of desperately impoverished desert dwellers are induced by a government program to move to a lush tropical island if they can ever get there. Their obstacle earlier was simply the cruelty of nature; in their new situation, mankind's cruelty to mankind is the worm in the apple. Fortunately, they have a tough, hard-headed and endlessly optimistic leader. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
