The Last Words of Victor Jara | Stories of Resistance Ep. 1

Hope does not die. But it can fade until it's transformed and reborn. In the wake of Chile’s 1973 coup, Chilean folk musician Victor Jara was detained with thousands of others. But amid the suffering and chaos, Victor Jara found a paper and pencil. He wrote his last poem just hours before he was killed. It continues to inspire until today.
