BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Isabel Allende: What does South America's future hold?

Zeinab Badawi speaks to the acclaimed Chilean author

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Isabel Allende, an acclaimed Chilean author known for her political writings as well as her novels. How does she view current trends in South America?

The decisive victory by Gabriel Boric, the left-wing candidate, in Chile’s recent elections has reset the button on the country’s political path. He defeated the right-wing presidential contender in a result which observers believe may be replicated when other Latin American countries go to the polls this year. Zeinab Badawi speaks to Isabel Allende, the acclaimed Chilean writer whose uncle was Salvador Allende, the left-wing Chilean leader removed in a coup in 1973.  Isabel Allende has lived in four Latin American countries and knows the continent well. How does she view current trends in South America?
