In 1973 a portly, dark-haired, bearded film director fled Chile after the military coup. 12 years later he returned, slim, fair, clean-shaven, bringing with him a false passport, a false name, a false past and a false wife. What kind of man trades his own identity for an invented one? What compels an exile to return to the country where he is on the wanted list? This is the story of Miguel Littin, who risked his freedom to bring the world a truer picture of life under Pinochet.
