3:15 am
a mess, things up, roosting brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage. humans and multitasking. want to now on youtube, v. w documentary, the
3:16 am
should be and so struggling to come up with a new constitution. they're all games and they're all lost. but on one issue, this unit, the current p, no, say era constitution must. uh so right now we but the regular people on the street have the chance to influence it. so that it's not just the politicians who are making decisions begins, okay, we're entering a new era for to nice history, but also for the world. and so you have, let me for a here, there's been to base about most certainly the wording of the constitution. that's about who should revise that for them as they like soon the wrong people would pick to be members of the constitutional convention. the constitution should be with by ex, but by people who know what they're doing and also have a good on some i think there's a lot of fear of change that foster aust was written only to full of the
3:17 am
last touch of this film tells the story of that failure, one that could be the beginning of a new to the in constitution. the in 2021. this became a place of hope for many to be in the constitutional convention. valentino miranda's one of it's the 155 elected members. instead of attending university lectures, the student is helping right. she lays new constitutions that every do not get on the bus, you'll see it would have gone to the ged, being the youngest person in a place like this at $21.00 is the kind of brutal. i feel the weight of
3:18 am
responsibility on my shoulders and it is heavy. representing to you isn't easy just because we're also different is it's super complicated to define what we're all about. we're totally rebellious, but also super moralistic a. but it's really hard to set a good example hello to him below as to whether it be facing valentino miranda comes from one of the poorest parts of the country from ali on she experienced how on the pool, the distribution of money and opportunity throughout sheila really is where basic services like education and health care, all privatized. look, remember to your football? no, i guess the biggest shock was when my mom suddenly had to pay 3 times the previous rent. the constitution doesn't guarantee a rate of residence. so there's a lot of speculation of apartments and houses that turns out. unbelievable prophets
3:19 am
. we almost lost our apartment. my mom had to sell the car so we could pay what we owed of where to buy another one. so i told them it i miss you. one of them is the way that i'm really sorry if i'm in me when thank you legally. oh gosh. and i noticed in school too that the education system was geared towards those who could spend money on the same with the health system. i don't know when i was sick, but i didn't get what i had hoped for. it's all really sad. and i realized it's all a structural problem for a limited to that school university hospital pension. they will cost money if you can afford it, you pay for a good education, good health care. if not, you either run up depth will puts up with a poorly equipped public system. the
3:20 am
mountains e number run those fighting just to see a society where only those with money, you have prospect and whether state doesn't care for those who need help. one moment let me see the bus. oh gosh, the single i've been waiting for an abdominal examination for 5 years to find out what i've got. and i still don't have an appointment 5 years. and that's the norm for people who get by day to day. and then i've got that at some point that makes you angry. a generic right here in 2019 a slight increase in transport fast since students storming the metro and the campus. so some challenge for many from the poorer district, the rate hike was too much. it's uh, the only thing i thought was crap, there are so few of us against the world. google but they were fighting
3:21 am
a giant. i remember when we took to the streets in 2019. there were so few of us and i'm double a be see bill the majority of demonstrates is remains peaceful, but some rated super markets and riots and metro station. you're going to be the best thing to be any fund simple gate level of the system. the role of the pro test is very important that the social mobilization was a massive all encompassing protest without political parties or organizations in church. it was a spontaneous act of the people from samuel last idea. hundreds of thousands took to the streets by then that was about much more than just the cost of public transport. it was about performing the health system education, the rights of women, minorities, and indigenous people to protest. last 4 months. the entire system was in question
3:22 am
with close to end the piano share a constitution, man. the conservative government spoke of war and sent the military onto the streets for the 1st time since the p, no shea dictatorship, a state of emergency was declared in santiago, the move in. so the people of acute thousands injured many was i injury according to human rights organizations. security forces used to rather bullets to target people's faces. in the same way for the stuff that i'm the, the big delay, the muscles following the protests in 2019 the conservative ultra right that had always blocked major changes to the constitution accepted that it needed change. the great unity for peace was a long process, but i think the 2019 protests and those that came before me were crucial to make
3:23 am
the conservative elite understand that in order to preserve the stability of the country, it needed to change and the data get by that and changing the constitution. he was the most structural option that we went through this in 98 at the my in november 2019 president sebastian can yet i gives into the pressure on the streets. it's time to allow the people to have the safe on whether a new constitution is needed. a referendum takes place a few months later. posing the question, do you want a new constitution? the majority of those polled 78 percent says yes. when also to should write the constitution, 79 percent, say it should be the job of a civilian assembly and not left to a mix. the civilians and rule make up the, the,
3:24 am
the see this now to ceiling a week and go get them on the weekends. okay. mean, so they can be at least $318.00 liberals i'm being were entering a new era. and so yeah, for g least history. but also for the world, and we are a part of that. we want to democratic solution that way and are seeking answers in the time of great on certain the way the, at the inputs that the only the tuesday, not the doors. another member of the constitutional convention, the micro biome, it just comes from northern sheila, one of the driest regions in the world. why don't know so drop me an e mail and then let's see a sofa load on the web care. but at the tennyson center and we forgot what say we
3:25 am
live in it is that single a place where by definition there was already very little natural, was a pro the power adults is that this is a mining region and extracting those room materials takes a lot of water and water on the ship the, the effect on the environment is uminski. uh so the mendel and okay, you do have doors, pos is the governmental organization, the national commission for scientific and technological research, and just campaigning for the right to drinking voltage. that's because water sources and sheila oberst o privatized. unlike nearly anywhere else in the world, christina, don't have to remembers the impact of water shortages in the 1980s. so that means i suggest that, you know, i grew up here on the kona a closer look,
3:26 am
very different today. back then it was a very simple house, got them being and then making unit navea. i was a little of the, we didn't have 4 to every day, maybe once every 2 days. so we always have to collect water, like everywhere in the north license, things go to be better. and these days water supply to the village from a dissemination plant. so then you saw them before last but not all part. so she may have profited from such technical progress. and even where process isn't supply . it's often very expensive, too expensive. in some places, trucks deliver clean drinking water to the villages. here walters, the commodity with them on to time is the price and the free markets. it's a basic tennis of the constitution set in stone by the piano shea dictatorship in taylor for the simple you get, i mean last and thought 10, that
3:27 am
a in the 1980 constitution left the julian state with a very weak oh, see at the vienna instead of you, so that's what i me up on the sick thought, but it only intervenes when the private sector can no longer guarantee certain surfaces that the population has a right to significant. i'm you guys just a or they don't bundle the service fees. this relationship between the economy and the state would be changed if we had a social state or if the state starts promoting social rights on the me and they'll call and they set that up with you and particularly i don't see it on the see what and in an, an equal society like g link that could be a decisive step to reducing the gap between rich and poor, collaborative, to have a sort of back expect them and to those who kind of forward it to fight indefinite rights to vote and hold them legally. all sell them but under the system, only few profits. the knowledge agricultural funds that pub groundwater for
3:28 am
business growing avocados for export to europe and elsewhere. it is especially walter intensive. the united nations has declared access to most of the human rights, but it's not according to the julian constitution. i thought i saw it was robot us for the tuesday, not $200.00 coming to the convention. so no b for boy. so right. several others here has been competing for years for free access to water. the lovely my, the assume the head and decided that it to me on the 1st thing we want is to make water human rights. everyone must have on hand to access to water. and that's not
3:29 am
currently guaranteed, that means human rights are being violated in sheila and i said, because anyone who is this the but has no money to buy water, doesn't drink. that is terrible and simply undignified in the, the other side. out the human rights of what is included in the draft constitution, but what will happen to the licenses that have already been issued were bains. i'm clear, the main thing that i'm been on the federal, you guess within 500 ma'am. then they can get that the order to assess here in the resolution also includes the sustainable economic model yes, into the 15 environment and climate change. so we are just as highly prioritized as human beings. obviously that raises the question, but whether that would cause economic problems because of the impact on she lays most important economic sector. my name in the attendance with alyssa, but i don't think so. i think the resolution is very fair. a man that's
3:30 am
a step forward. not only with regards to water rights that but also natural resources taking economic steps and reflecting water rates at the same time. so by defining water as a public commodity and regulating use if that has to be written into legislation and policy making later. but i think as a 1st step to ensuring a fair economic growth for me. and so this is very good if you do that available for them and have a separate one of the current. so you cannot make model is the legacy of the military dictatorship under alco stop. you know, she's the general seized power in the 1973 crew, toppling the socialist governments of salvador allende.
3:31 am
17 years of authoritarian dictatorship followed the move in 3000 people were killed. who disappeared under chaise rules. almost 40000 with torches even today the atrocities of the p nursery era haven't all been addressed. and an amnesty load that long shielded nursery from prosecution still exists. in 19 a, c p, no shape halston, new neo liberal constitution. it was the brainchild of trinity and economists educated in the united states. they aimed to keep states intervention to a minimum, leaving the bulk of the rest, the economic boom beneficial to tiny leech since the transition to democracy. they have been minor reforms, but the core of the piano shake constitution has remained largely unchanged. now
3:32 am
there will be a new constitution. and what i would say list is one of those tasks with creasing it. he's a member of t lays conservative political the leads and is a founding member of the policy of national renewal. if that's the same as i sale, i follow a they left one message and one day, the soonest. here, i always back to the constitutional process. i put myself forward as a candidate who would come up with a good tax. oh wow. so you know, obviously this empty house, i'm a lawyer and one of the conventions deputy presidents. and it's my intention. it's my duty not to fail, but to come out of this with a decent constitution. and also i got it for people. so most like, i don't know when i'm going through this. you know, they, they took game of the, in the terminal. i belong to the motor it bride when lab us. yes. if you ask me about sexual diversity, for example, i respect the right to gay marriage,
3:33 am
sex silent. and i say one i think is right for us as a conservative party, but it's to be open to such change. it slipped off of that, sir. eh, an apple official from the members of the constitutional convention are elected directly. they have a here to come up with a new draft. the assembly is formed by t lays people also women pop on that the 17 places are reserved for members of indigenous communities from which the 1st chair of the assembly is chosen. the basic you would have all my history a and just a moment to know 7 divided society like ours doesn't find his way back together
3:34 am
overnight. we have lots of work ahead of us until the end of the night. at last, we have this meeting of tea leaves diverse people so that he will see that it was who have been disenfranchised until nobody indigenous peoples. the people who travel from remove parts of the country noted by more than 40 percent or under 40 miles, a pass for women quite important. all sexual orientations are represented in already waiting daniels. and let me, that's when there's never been a police of dialogue like this. if it was this representation, when i thought or, but since i think you know, and despite the difficulties, it is a good to the doctor to come up, throw it when it, when he makes sure the next is taiwan was elected. so one of the seats was for indigenous people. he's a member of them approaching to take policies, moved from the country side to the cafeteria center
3:35 am
and also to come up with the name of could somebody with this a few the alias. i feel that both of us we might put a must accept the challenge to raise our voices. one that was previously on her a couple of minutes since it is so sadly set it up on the letterhead. but my, let me see that it came up to you. what do you need from me? the new constitution must be multi national and intercultural. indigenous peoples must be given recognition. without that, there was no new constitution. so next week to know, i have plenty to say to my poochie or she leaves biggest indigenous group. but in the current constitution, the not mentioned once for years that has been sometimes violent conflict between the, my pushy and the julian states. alexis kawan, once a different approach city i left the way that i can afford notice you 93,
3:36 am
then it would be the 1st time that indigenous people were put on a level with everyone else. and in this case, on a level with those and political power, now we can make our demands directly and not be hidden behind the shadow, a bureaucracy discrimination prejudice. that's what a new constitution means to me. you're not northwest but right from the beginning, this controversy of, of who should write this new draft constitution. so he said, what took us and when equal or did i know they did, people get back, but when i went to the center it's often said that this is the only assembly of its kind in the world to ride the constitution. what am i and yes, the selection of its members was totally inadequate. a constitution should be written by ex, but by people who understand the subject matter of the old, or at least by upon them, at whose job is not only to write it costs that you shouldn't be a when i wanted to show you
3:37 am
what i'm going to hugh, the medical, mostly democratic companies, i mean these things to a decepticon and i think this is where the 1st mistake was made. the cmc and the direct election of the members. i give the indian to, you know, other elections from local to call them entry to presidential elections. there is a different election system, but kind of in the end up working on it with a direct election makes it much easier for independent candidates, quarterly, independent. the court and people voted to these independent candidates because they've had enough of the body come up valley and let him make. so there was a massive bias towards the independence and seats reserved for the indigenous people. this is how we should the and that's why i think there's no way this is a representative constitution may multi uh, feed matter, to get noise when they're going to, to send in means, oh gosh, will a representative of your time if
3:38 am
i'm in the conservative there were agreed reservations about turning sheila into a multinational state, but it's crucial for indigenous people to be represented in the constitutional convention. and you see they show that several nations living together does not have to mean the division of the country act. and it's the opposite. this is about actively recognizing important parts of society that. ready just the my food chaise, native land, as in southern sheeley for centuries. and i would know buddhist here and my poochie held out for more than 300 years against spanish colonialism and remained autonomous. it wasn't until she laid gained its independence from spain. that to leon troops took them approaching, alarmed by force. in the matter to go language, my poor james, people of the land, a connection to nature, remain central to the way of life.
3:39 am
the something, alexis, taiwan agrees, a cdn, a simple, a cool with a he knew that mia amazing. i mean most one of our central demands is the return of our illegally season territories. and the far as that have been cut down and our sides of spiritual significance that are not respected. looking at us see the data . so who knows what they want to several again, where should i have culture live? where can we connect to it when they're in a world full of concrete? that's impossible. a majority of the my put people have no space in the bus. is it i'm parked in a little map which was the 1st that needs to be returned. is it possible to believe the so give me, give a one with the original for us were turned into
3:40 am
a ton patients and power stations and trash thumbs were built on places once sacred to them approaching. as a result, the standoff between my pushy and the to lead and governments often leads to conflict. but the constitutional reform process doesn't have the support of rules in approaching some fear that the current situation won't change and they'd rather fight for their autonomy. radical groups cool for armed resistance, they're all repeated attacks on loading companies with trucks. that's on file. yeah . and the houses spend most of them about 2 weeks or something. but let me tell you some more hentaker give you the form to assess. typically, we might put j, r people who want to talk and to achieve something. but we want to do that with parliamentary representation, which we haven't had so far so to give them a pull. chad always been peaceful. they would have been wiped out sooner. it does it mean a cubicle not 15 to the level to so we have
3:41 am
a duty to recognize the struggle and the way other groups think. even if we don't share the same ideas, it doesn't mean their struggle is any less legitimate to this and the significance enough. so don't know, but it's empty. if i'm you, caesar, alexis taiwanda is taking a different approach to the teacher. and musician wants to be part of the dialogue on the new constitution, and they'll give them a pushy, an active role internally and politics. they want to be heard and have rights as a minority, and she late for as long as alexis kawan can remember. that's not how it's been in chalet. you. we do not seem to go, you know what? i was born in a dictatorship and lived through it. somebody the hunger over this, the poverty physically, me not see on the discrimination. you see one of the any quality or they're not gonna get on the list. okay. well, you get
3:42 am
a new one. i me that i'm really fitting to the level at the and the sort of funny almost at the end of the video. i know, but i really said that we will no more put you on the phone or do they get into the, let me know, fucking yeah. today we want equal opportunity as competence we, my food j and other indigenous groups are just as capable as other 2 lands. we have to get out of this vicious cycle. everyone should have the chance to evolve. not just a certain group of people who seem important the support, that's it, all the settling. it was all the members of the constitutional convention bringing their own concerns to the table. there will dispute some conflict. ultimately they have to agree on this, such as common words and ideas, principles and practicalities. what is she? they may don't. and what needs to be written firmly into the constitution? what can be left to legislation?
3:43 am
hours of convention sessions on broad costs live to show everyone has a new constitution is being drafted somewhat too often during the debate when everyone is speaking very technically, you start to lose the thread. but then i read up on it and understand what they mean. then i form my opinion and can have my say, the people out there right to me on social media saying, i understand what you said. but when so and so a lawyer spoke. i didn't understand a thing. you translated it into everyday language, not court jurgen. and you understood what they were saying the plenary votes and rewrites the draft in the final phase. that also means working right into the 9th the the
3:44 am
most viewed funding, vincent to look into it so much to do. it was a really exhausting. we didn't get much sleep, we worked weekends and not. it was really intensive. and the motion, the draining i meant that the men william sent from the the draft constitution is finished with celebrations and them to suggest the photos. yeah. and i'm going to ask you, it was emotional and moving to be able to be here and share that with the others.
3:45 am
they're going, i'm grateful for the work that we've done well. the, the new constitution has $388.00 the coast. a lot and it will needs to be explained to the people because all through it is they who will decide whether it will be pulsed and implemented. lines foam as people wait to see the text. the draft constitution becomes the best seller. if you're not invented by some of the say 20000, to see the annual data with this draft, and we finally managed to get away from the new liberal ideals. but over the past few decades have prevented the social states guaranteeing certain writes you. and they've gone through me, so it's a remodel it into my soul,
3:46 am
the directly only say the luna it bullock. i told you that based on the european state model, it's meant to ensure that everyone has access to impulse and social services education, health pension funds, a shift away from the near liberal model of the nursery era. in the very 1st off, the cold, sheila is described as multinational and ecological special rights are recorded to indigenous groups and environmental protection. a strength of this to be a 50 percent female. closer for many public sector jones and full. valentina miranda, most importantly, from the one capital letter to so it's a most emotional moment for me was when we secured the right to sexual self determination and the legalize ation of abortion. at 1st, we couldn't believe it. going to boy, i want to know that those have congress. what to do?
3:47 am
i told it's a feminist draft. abortion is controversial in the society, dominated by church and patriarchy, a complete bound on the force and had been eased. and she lay in 2017, but it was still in the allowed and exceptional cases for he is active is tough, been cooling for move women's rights. but even just working on the constitution brings risk women all verbally abused and get death threats to participate. and fake news stops making the rounds. the typical example they said the right to property would no longer be guaranteed, and people would lose their houses, the dispossessed, and there'd be no more private health insurance and private schools would have to close. all these lies were spread by the right wing. unfortunately, their campaign focused on undermining the constitutional reform process. the so you will move to fake news if want to come find them from them instead of meant
3:48 am
the the sheet that there was lots of fake news in a campaign that took place mostly online may have that really damaged the new constitution because people get their news from social media and don't check the fact. give us a set by side. so say not there's a massive amount of distorted and one sided information, no let to people thinking, well, i'd rather stick with the old constitution. we know what we've got there on the, on the some of the gate as time how much the text is played by vague formulations and i'm certain, see of a health and lose can be implemented to the biggest of the colors t lays conservative societies. one major controversial issue is the recognition of indigenous groups and the definition of sheila as a states of diverse people. for many, it's a step too far. it ok, we must stop this constitution with everything we've got. it's designed to divide
3:49 am
us completely. national state will destroy our nation under, you know, sort of the way one learns. one people. one, no, no, we don't have different territories here. the name on that. so let me, let me try and look at the name of the constitution meet as one of the strongest economies in latin america known if maybe you meant to do. i don't want any experiment. like you'll probably be ruled by globalization and the inmates of nations like rooting us. you know, you don't know themselves what the 3 national state i'm going to be on the phone here. you'll come by somebody if you need to get to guess what is the new constitution is past one acceptance that own this, that be to be a disaster. sit on this on the see me. no the
3:50 am
during the final few months of the constitutional reform process. there's a mocked drop in support for the new draft. well, most people initially backed it. now the majority of poses is it seems, julian's, i'll just stop, just fight with no, didn't need the results, but the reform process to despite making it as transparent as possible with life broad costs of the sessions. the directly elective members of the constitutional assembly are considered by many to be those of the possible political bubble with nothing in common with the efforts. this is to and it's decision. day 3,
3:51 am
he is off to protests began more than 15000000. julian's going to have the same will say, adult draw that's been created by members of the convention for the 1st time, and he is 13, is compulsory. turnouts is 86 percent. the full valentino miranda, the new draft addresses the injustices of the dictatorship. the how silly sits fluid as is the reform process in his eyes. the new constitution doesn't represent every one you have to allowed see on the test. so i'm going to turn it down. it's key because a central right ideas when taken into account at all with glossy it out,
3:52 am
proposals were almost entirely rejected. one group with the gussy, the constitution is really just a project endorsed by various left. when groups to go to funding, i don't know where to go and they love us, so he's getting the best you're gonna have a good answer. more outcome, bill. more drop you and we're like i yeah e could okay. order existing deal. and sheila, yeah, there's a great beer of rapid and radical change. recently there's been a lot of change over a short time and that's causing a lot of uncertainty. the constitutional reform process began in 2019. then we had the pen, democrat, a son of a luxury say, so seldom in the same way. last, while the, in the causes of the 2019 crisis,
3:53 am
we're only exacerbated canada social inequality, etc, and email my the manual step. so i'm going to send that contact in came the economic crisis that many countries are going through and huge uncertainty in the lower level and then yeah, you know, can walk on. so plans that like the sale going on, we can do with the view it t let him. criminality has risen to the maybe not good evening so would yeah yeah. so on when thought lesson. so sunday, so with yeah, um instead of the name of the victim and they are letting all of that makes people reject to change can and you're in 1st ability instead the better look at less percent of the kind of that's the best of space. that's even the tools accounts finished. it's clear that's the majority use against the new constitution. so that's what happens when people are excluded. the
3:54 am
indian 38 percent of people approve the new draft text. 62 percent are against it. majorities across the pumps of sheila opposed to draw the the reason we want a new constitution implemented the test everyone on board i when no one is excluded, the one that has done well the sadly the lies one out over democracy. but we will carry on. we are meeting now with members of the youth organization. you can stop the process now, like it's just beginning. that was the lesson for g. like what are the,
3:55 am
what is the result mean for now? firstly, the p know share a constitution stays in place, but surveys show the majority doesn't want to the, the, the still the desire for a new improved constitution. they also going to get in and out as i say, like the most affordable. this next stage will be stage of agreement from like the time of the social protests at the end of 2019. when we treat it in a queued crisis with the decision to write a new constitution, you'll react that when a 20 percent nice oliver gets to you cannot create a constitution overnight. it's a link to the process. so and this referendum is unlikely to be the end of it to the super fix of but it's still, i'm certain what that new reform process will look like. who will write the 2nd
3:56 am
draft? how much of the 1st draft will remain the newly elected governments on to the left wing president gabrielle boric wants to carry on the secret. ok a we have from a to it or what? so now we know exactly how not to do things that are cynthia of this, how i'm just looking, know the most of them being could ok when i get ahold process was a big experiment. fortunately and society to work on a dialogue and learning exactly what a constitution actually is and what proposals are needed for such a task. simple when we start a new process because it won't be from 0 and send us a better face said. so when i actually give this, i feel different, you know, i don't know, i love this when you're going to select 30. you bought a challenge now is to carry on because i need to reach everyone even yet and, and to present the points that are important for us and a new draft constitution. sheila has to be
3:57 am
a country of equal opportunities and any other ecology and flurry nationalism for the rights of the historically disadvantage. indigenous people are recognized as struggle that we young people began a long time ago and will continue. well, yeah, the right now we're side. it will spread that will only last to day later, no problem. we'll have a beer and then we'll start again. tomorrow is a new day outside of the box, the overriding feeling now at the end of this process that began in 2019 and prematurely ended in 2022 to disappointment as of last opportunities. well, hope that change is still to come. the majority and she laid once a new basic older it wants to bid farewell to the piano shamrock constitution. a 1st attempt has failed, but at least for now the door of his open for not like a the

there are many opportunities. what if, what if i thought, i hope i loved them so much? i don't want my grandson. leaving home can be contemptuous, but for different reasons. any child would then go to another country. why would that be good? i'm afraid that she would be murdered or to that us in the when generations flash 30 minute dw fateful encounter. in the late 19
