Una Historia Necesaria is a gripping series examining 16 cases of disappeared detainees and human rights violations that happened during the heinous dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet in Chile. Chilean director Hernán Caffiero uses real life stories as inspiration for these dramatized vignettes that grant us insight into what fascism looks and feels like.

Winner of an International Emmy® Award for Best Short Series, Una Historia Necesaria is a collection of 16 five-minute short films that tell true stories about detainees who disappeared during the military dictatorship through cases and testimonies of relatives, friends and witnesses of disappeared detainees, who to this day have not been found. These 16 chapters not only tell the stories of those who were detained but also of all those who survived. Each story is treated differently, but all manage to capture the protagonists' shock, uncertainty, personal pain, and eventual hope for the future.

A centerpiece to The Docuseek Fiction Collection, Una Historia Necesaria is also a perfect complement to the films of Patricio Guzmán (The Battle of Chile, My Imaginary Country, The Cordillera of Dreams) from The Docuseek Complete Collection.
