Part 3: The Power of the People deals with the creation by ordinary workers and peasants of thousands of local groups of “popular power” to distribute food, occupy, guard, and run factories and farms, oppose black-market profiteering, and link together neighborhood social-service organizations, first as a defense against strikes and lockouts by factory owners, tradesmen, and professional bodies opposed to the Allende government, and then increasingly as Soviet-type bodies demanding more resolute action by the government against the right. In Spanish with English subtitles. (DigiBeta Presentation)
