Chilean Filmmaker, Partricio Guzman (Battle for Chile fame) released his latest film at Cannes 2022 - My imaginary Country.

Minister Rios could say that the Amnesty for the crimes committed since 18 October 2019, including arson, was a priority for the Chilean Government. Minister Rios closed her interview by saying that the wounds of the past can be healed with Memory, with the Truth, and with Justice. Before + After = Now, is a book of the work of Chilean artist Hernan Gana, published in 2021. It closes with his latest paintings of houses and farming equipment burning in the South.

Memory, the Truth, and the Minister's form of Justice can be found in most bookshops, universities, and museums.
