 The Pearl Button is a stunning and poignant documentary about Chile's troubled history, told through the country's relationship with water. Chile’s longest border is with the ocean - and it is the ocean that holds the secret of two mysterious buttons, found on the ocean floor, and conceals the darkest secrets of 150 years of persecution and oppression. Some say that water has a memory – this film shows that it also has a voice. (82 mins, subtitles) Cert 12A Directed by Patricio Guzmán |
