PRIMERA chronicles the 2020 social uprising in Chile that started with a student protest over a transportation fare hike, and evolved into a national movement that resulted in the historic plebiscite that paved the way for the writing of a new constitution. The film offers an immersive look at the year-long process through the experiences of everyday Chileans who took to the streets and galvanized the country to demand structural change.
