Los Bunkers Board ‘The Last Witness,’ About Luis Poirot, a ‘Symbol of Latin American Front Line Photography’ (EXCLUSIVE)


Famed Chilean rock band Los Bunkers to score bio doc ‘The Last Witness,’ featuring Isabel Allende, Pablo Larrain, Alfredo Castro.

Chile’s Los Bunkers, one of the most admired of Latin America’s rock bands, has signed on to score “The Last Witness” (“El Ultimo Testigo”), a doc feature portrait of Luis Poirot, a Chilean photographer who has snapped many key events and figures in the country’s history from Salvador Allende to the estallido outburst of social protests in 2019, and beyond. He took illicit shots of Chile’s presidential Palacio de la Moneda days after Allende died there in a military coup d’etat, its windows gutted by Chilean Air Force strafing. Poirot and, indeed, Los Bunkers – caught in the documentary performing the rock anthem “Miño” during the Estallido – are links to Victor Jara, the hugely influential protest singer arrested, tortured and executed by Pinochet’s security forces.
