Machuca is a 2004 Chilean film written and directed by Andrés Wood. Set in 1973 Santiago during Salvador Allende's socialist government and shortly before General Augusto Pinochet's military coup in 1973, the film tells the story of two friends, one of them the economically disadvantaged Pedro Machuca who is integrated into the elite school of his friend Gonzalo Infante.
