Pablo Neruda: Was Chile’s Most Famous Poet Poisoned by Pinochet?

Fifty years after his death, coroners find toxic bacteria in Pablo Neruda’s body. In Chile, many are now certain: the country’s greatest poet was eliminated by the dictator Pinochet. But the case is about to end.

It’s a story from another time. From a century in which poets were still at the forefront of social and political movements. From a Cold War in which regimes were so afraid of poetic words that they violently eliminated their creators. It revolves around a man who is still the most famous in his country: Nobel Prize winner Pablo Neruda from Chile.

More precisely: about his death on September 23, 1973.
