Help Us Finish the Film


After seeing extended excerpts from the film-in-progress, best-selling novelist Julia Alvarez (How the García Girls Lost Their Accents, In the Time of the Butterflies) wrote, “This documentary will give us our Neruda, vigorously, diversely, enchantingly brought back to life.” It is through the support of people like yourself, who love Pablo, poetry, and social justice, that the film will be completed and shown throughout the world.

Join us and in return, you’ll not only have the satisfaction that comes with being a special part of this project, but also the gifts we offer in appreciation for your generosity and enthusiasm. Donate today and, when it’s finished, we’ll send you your own digital download of the film that you helped make happen!
