Jackal of Nahueltoro
1969 film
Jackal of Nahueltoro (Spanish: El Chacal de Nahueltoro) is a 1969 Chilean drama film directed by Miguel Littín, based on the true story of Jorge Valenzuela Torres, a poor farmer who, during a drunken rampage in 1960, murdered his partner and five of her children.
It was entered into the 20th Berlin International Film Festival, winning the OCIC prize.[1] It is considered by some to be the best Chilean film of all time because it questions the morality of the death penalty and the social hypocrisy of trying to rehabilitate a man only to later execute him.[2]
