The story of a group of Milton Friedman's disciples that, backed by a military dictatorship, turned Chile into the first and most extreme neoliberal country in the world. Unseen images and testimonies build this powerful documentary, that allows us to understand the historic process that transformed the Chilean people and Chile into the country that it is today; an image of success and discontent.

This is a space for discussion and critical thinking in reaction to the films. Feel free to stay after the films to discuss your opinions on the issues and how you found the stories presented through the camera lens.
The club is casual, you can bring your own snacks and drinks, use the kitchen and make yourself at home.
Museum of Impossible Forms is a cultural space, located in Kontula, Helsinki. It is a contested Space and it represents a contact zone, a space of unlearning, formulating identity constructs, norm-critical consciousness and critical thinking. Impossible Forms are those that erase and facilitate the process of transgressing the boundaries/borders between art, politics, practice, theory, the artist and the spectator. For 2019-2020, Museum of Impossible Forms operates under the curatorial theme of ‘The Atlas of Lost Beliefs (For Insurgents, Citizens and Untitled Bodies)’.
