00:00:07.424 --> 00:00:12.387
This series is based on real life stories
occurred in Chile during the civil-military dictatorship

00:00:12.387 --> 00:00:18.309
supported in the Rettig report, in judicial documents
and in the testimonies of relatives of Disappeared Detainees.

00:00:19.102 --> 00:00:21.688
Up until that day my family
had always been united.

00:00:22.522 --> 00:00:26.026
When my father was sent to the
north we do not hesitate to go with him.

00:00:26.526 --> 00:00:27.902
The copper had been transformed

00:00:27.902 --> 00:00:29.988
in Chile\'s hope
to get out of poverty,

00:00:30.822 --> 00:00:33.616
and my dad was the responsible
of that becoming true.

00:00:33.616 --> 00:00:35.493
-Hello, yes, Mariana.

00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:37.412
Yes, listen to me

00:00:38.496 --> 00:00:41.291
The military had arised
in Santiago and Valparaíso.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:43.501
Yes, no, I don\'t know

00:00:44.502 --> 00:00:46.713
Things are going
to get here fast

00:00:46.713 --> 00:00:49.799
Yes, I don\'t know what\'s gonna happen.

00:00:51.593 --> 00:00:54.012
Take the kids,
don\'t take them to school,

00:00:54.012 --> 00:00:57.015
Take them and bring them home
in lo Encalada

00:00:58.016 --> 00:00:59.893
Yes, I\'m going as soon as i can

00:00:59.893 --> 00:01:00.894
Ok

00:01:00.894 --> 00:01:03.897
OK Bye

00:01:05.023 --> 00:01:08.026
The day of the coup his duty was
to show up at the mine and so he did.

00:01:10.487 --> 00:01:12.697
My mom tried to
convince him to escape

00:01:12.697 --> 00:01:15.492
but he didn\'t do anything
bad, did\'t had a reason to fear.

00:01:35.011 --> 00:01:37.222
THE SUSPENDED MOURNING

00:01:38.723 --> 00:01:41.101
My mother got the rumor
that after being arrested,

00:01:41.101 --> 00:01:44.521
my father had been transferred to
barracks of 3 Alamos in Santiago

00:01:44.521 --> 00:01:47.315
but it was nothing official
that would corroborate that information.

00:01:48.024 --> 00:01:51.903
Silberman, with an S.
Look for it, it has to be there

00:01:57.826 --> 00:01:59.786
-Can you search, please?
-Excuse me, ma\'am,

00:01:59.786 --> 00:02:01.996
but I repeat that I can not
deliver information about the detainee.

00:02:03.206 --> 00:02:04.999
So, you\'re telling me he is arrested.

00:02:04.999 --> 00:02:06.793
Could you at least confirm that

00:02:11.005 --> 00:02:12.006
Please

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.310
My mother left me and my brothers
at a relative\'s

00:02:24.602 --> 00:02:27.814
and she started visiting every day
the military barracks.

00:02:31.609 --> 00:02:33.945
Although she did not have the certainty
that my father was there

00:02:33.945 --> 00:02:38.491
she kept bringing him food every day
that was lost at the end of the day.

00:02:44.789 --> 00:02:48.001
She taught me to believe and to have
hope even in the worst circumstances.

00:02:52.005 --> 00:02:54.591
No one in the family believed
We would see him again.

00:02:55.717 --> 00:02:57.010
But it happened.

00:02:57.510 --> 00:03:00.597
-Any family member of David Silberman?
-Me

00:03:13.484 --> 00:03:14.485
David

00:03:14.986 --> 00:03:15.987
David

00:03:17.322 --> 00:03:19.490
Move away, lady
can not touch the detainee

00:03:34.505 --> 00:03:36.007
Did they do something to you?

00:03:38.009 --> 00:03:40.011
No no. Do not worry

00:03:42.513 --> 00:03:45.516
How are you?
How are the kids?

00:03:46.809 --> 00:03:48.311
Asking for you

00:03:51.397 --> 00:03:53.316
And I, already without knowing
what to tell them

00:03:57.820 --> 00:03:59.989
The hope of that encounter
It would not last long.

00:04:00.907 --> 00:04:04.285
Soon my father was taken by
the DINA never to appear again.

00:04:04.285 --> 00:04:05.995
You have to be calm, ok?

00:04:07.205 --> 00:04:09.707
I don\'t think this will last longer
than two weeks

00:04:18.007 --> 00:04:20.718
Nobody talks about women and children
who were convicted

00:04:20.718 --> 00:04:22.011
to live in uncertainty,

00:04:23.805 --> 00:04:25.223
in the silence,

00:04:25.974 --> 00:04:28.017
with the guilt of not having done
something else.

00:04:30.895 --> 00:04:32.105
The eternal search,

00:04:33.523 --> 00:04:35.024
the suspended mourning.

00:04:43.992 --> 00:04:45.702
David Silberman

00:04:45.702 --> 00:04:47.287
arrested and disappeared

00:04:47.287 --> 00:04:48.997
October 4, 1974

00:04:51.499 --> 00:04:54.002
Convicted by the case
David Silberman
