When the socialist politician Salvador Allende dramatically won Chilersquo;s presidential election in 1970; a powerful cultural movement accompanied him to power as folk singers emerged at the forefront proving that music could help forge the birth of a new society. ldquo;Venceremosrdquo; charts the development of such a cultural phenomenon from the years before Allendersquo;s victorious campaign to the brutal U.S.-backed military coup on September 11; 1973; which ousted his presidency and imposed the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. The bloody repression that followed would claim the life of Viacute;ctor Jara; a key singer-songwriter; but could never put to rest the lasting power of his songs nor the movement he personified.
