Francisco Letelier - I Write Your Name
Chilean-American muralist, painter, poet and arts activist Francisco Letelier is the subject of our new documentary film.
Based in Venice, California, Francisco has been painting murals around the world for 40 years.
Francisco is the son of Orlando Letelier, who was minister of Defense in Salvador Allende's Chilean government in 1973. Overthrown, tortured, and exiled to Washington, D.C., Orlando Letelier and Ronni Karpen Moffitt were murdered by Augusto Pinochet in 1976 at Sheridan Circle when Francisco was 16.
The Institute for Policy Study holds the Letelier-Moffatt awards every year in the name of these two murdered international activists.
Francisco talks about his history and his art work in this compelling film.
