Chilean Film

The Bear Story is a short film about a bear who was forcefully taken away from his family by government officials. These officials took in many animals for the circus and unfortunately mistreated them all. The animals were put through harsh conditions, abuse, and torture. During a performance, this particular bear was able to escape and return home. Upon returning home, he noticed that his house was destroyed and assumed his family had vanished. Just as the bear did before being taken from his family, he started to preform puppet shows on the streets again, in order to bring joy and happiness to others. 

Similarly to the bear's mistreatment in the short film, the people of Chile have encountered many forms of mistreatment by their government, such as harsh conditions, abuse, and torture. In the short film, the authorities had absolutely no respect for the families and the negative impacts they would be having on them after their actions. While in this short film, the animals have no power versus the government, that same problem can be felt amongst human beings versus their government. When people are mistreated so horribly, they come out of it with a story to share to others, exactly how the bear did at the end of this short film.
