Raymond Depardon discovered Chile in September 1971, accompanied by journalist Robert Pledge, as the country celebrated the first anniversary of the election of Salvador Allende. Depardon then photographed festive demonstrations in support of the Allende government on the streets of the capital Santiago. He will also travel to the southern lands to meet with the Mapuche people fighting for the right to live in the land of their ancestors. Two years later, Raymond Depardon and Robert Pledge sent American photographer David Burnett to Chile to cover Augusto Pinochet's coup that turned the country into a military dictatorship. Burnett's images, which complement and enrich Depardon's account, would be awarded the Robert Capa Gold Medal Award in 1973.
