Documentary about internationally-renowned author Ariel Dorfman, the third generation of his family to know exile.

I have been obsessed with this ever since I read an article in the guardian (uk) circa 2003 of all places. If you want a better picture of the political situation check out "a promise to the dead" (by ariel dorfman http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1097260/).
You can also read designing freedom (written right after the coupe) to get a solid idea of what stafford beer was driving at http://ada.evergreen.edu/~arunc/texts/cybernetics/beer/book.pdf
