Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Letters from Marusia (Actas de Marusia) is a 1976 film from Mexico directed by Miguel Littin.It is loosely based on the true story of a miner's strike in Chile. The setting is the Marusia saltpeter mine, where workers labor under appalling conditions in a status of semi-slavery, with a brutal foreman who whips the workers. Signs of union activity and organization amongst the workers are brutally represssed. When a vengeful worker kills the foreman, the commandant of the security force at the mine summarily executes several workers.Open rebellion breaks out, as the workers kill the commandant and take over the mine. Gregorio, a Marxist (Gian Maria Volonte) arrives to organize the workers. They hope to spread socialist revolution amongst other mining camps of the Pampa, but an army regiment, led by the brutal Capt. Troncoso, approaches the mine with intention to brutally suppress the rebellion.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Compare Salt of the Earth, another left-wing film about heroic strikers. | |

Allegory | |
| Letters From Marusia / int_471c46f8 | comment |
Allegory: The whole story is a thinly veiled allegory for the 1973 coup in Chile, which overthrew democratically elected Marxist president Salvador Allende for a murderous right-wing dictatorship headed by Augusto Pinochet. Director Miguel Littin was a Chilean political exile who had fled to Mexico. | |

Based on a True Story | |
| Letters From Marusia / int_a90fff3 | comment |
Based on a True Story: The Marusia massacre, in which some five hundred miners, women, and children were murdered by the Chilean army. For unclear reasons the film changed the date of the massacre to 1907 when it actually happened in 1925. | |

Aside Glance: The opening scene features a montage of the workers and their dependents in the camp. Each in turn looks at the camera meaningfully. | |
