Invisible Heroes

Forget Argo, watch Invisible Heroes instead. This fantastic political drama is not a Hollywood-style production but a realistic, elegantly executed story. This political drama is set in Chile 1973 where a diplomat's son gets a job at the Finnish Embassy. Soon after, the Pinochet junta performs a coup d'etat and murders president Salvador Allende, after which the new charge d'affairs gets involved in the political turmoil in the way he had never expected. This is not an action thriller but a drama with a natural pace, with beautiful music, excellent production, carefully thought-out and well-crafted characters and superb acting. The drama is extremely intense - I had to watch all six episodes at one go. Highly recommended.
