  "Neruda Fugitive" - Testimonies, is a 57-minute
documentary that shows how Nobel Prize 1971 Chilean poet Pablo Neruda
spent 13 months hiding out.

The story, told by direct witnesses, was filmed in the
actual locations where the events took place. It follows step by step the
poet's adventure that started in February 1948 when Neruda had his
Senator appointment taken away. Police began an unsuccessful cutthroat search for
him.

The poet moved from house to house during the night. For the most part, he was
welcomed in their homes, where he was allowed to hide. Sometimes strangers protected him
even though they did not personally know him.

From all of them, Neruda received a great deal of solidarity. He managed
to elude encircling by police and relentlessly writes his major work:
El Canto General.

At last he manages to leave Chile, crossing by horse the
Cordillera of the Andes, following a smugglers' path until he arrives at the
city of San Martin de los Andes in Argentina on March 4th 1949.
