Abstract
In a polarized and violent society, children’s narratives and their friendships becomes a narrative of hope and of the possibilities of reaching equality within a society that is committed to the battle against poverty and social exclusion and to prove that this is not utopian. This premise is reflected through the story of Pedro and Gonzalo, the protagonists of the film Machuca, directed by the Chilean Andrés Wood who, thanks to his long career as a director and his ability to reflect the principal traits of Chilean society in his films, has been acclaimed both by the viewing public in his country and internationally. Machuca narrates a very important episode within Chilean history. Furthermore, it is a film that shows us how the friendship between the two protagonists can help to overcome social and political differences. This is viewed as something that comes about in a spontaneous manner within human nature: friendship.
