Acceder / Nani Gutiérrez (CL)

Acceder illustrates the communication between the different Chilean authorities during the earthquake and the tsunami that followed. Their decisions are affected by misunderstandings, language barriers, politics, machismo and the fear of committing mistakes. Due to a government change, a week after the catastrophe, the official response to the tsunami also became a political issue between right and left. The video is based on emergency protocols, court reports and newspaper articles. As a guided lecture, it sums up five hours of complex bureaucracy behind the emergency methodology.
