Sympathisers of the former Chilean military ruler Augusto Pinochet plan to honour him at the screening of a new documentary this weekend.
But relatives of some of the thousands killed or “disappeared” under the late leader, who ruled Chile for 17 years after leading a coup in 1973, have called for the film to be banned.
