What happens
Cien niños esperando un tren es un documental chileno de 1988, dirigido por Ignacio Agüero. Si bien intenta describir un taller de cine realizado por la profesora Alicia Vega en la población obrera Lo Hermida de Santiago, se transforma en una denuncia del estado policial en Chile durante la dictadura de Pinochet. Los niños nunca han ido al cine; de ahí el nombre, apelando a la obra de los hermanos Lumière. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
