I enjoyed the movie No, which is about the plebiscite in 1988 where the voters of Chile decided that August Pinochet should not have another 8 years as president.

More specifically, the story is about the competing advertising campaigns between the 2 sides.

I would say the movie walks a line, where it is anti-Pinochet, but not pro-Allende.

The hero is an ad man who sees the need to put a positive spin on voting No.

Sometimes just saying no
is the happy way to go.
