Wiki.
Chicago Boys is a 2015 Chilean documentary film written and directed by Carola Fuentes & Rafael Valdeavellano. The film tells the story of the Chicago Boys, a group of Chilean economists trained at the Catholic University of Chile who, after conducting graduate studies at the University of Chicago under professor Arnold Harberger, return to their country and, after Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship (1973–1990), become the main ideologues of the neoliberal economic model in Chile.
