Chilean writer and director Pablo Larraín’s thought-provoking and captivating No, which is loosely based on an unpublished play written by Antonio Skármeta, focuses on the media campaign that played a significant part in military dictator Augusto Pinochet’s downfall from Chilean rulership. It sharply brings to a close Larraín’s trilogy of Pinochet-centric films, which also includes Tony Manero and Post Mortem.
In 1988, a referendum is called for to decide whether or not Pinochet will remain in power for an additional eight year run.

With only limited time and resources at their disposal, René devises a bold and daring plan to convince voters of Pinochet’s immoral ways.
