During Pinochet's long regime, a motley crew of photojournalists gradually brought about a revolution.

In the middle of bloody riots and protests, they learned their craft and created many of the now legendary images. For them, taking pictures was a type of resistance. Pinochet had the power and the guns, but these photographers had the camera – the people’s weapon.
