Michelle Bachelet, President of Chile

Gavin Esler interviews Michelle Bachelet, President of Chile. 'A woman, a socialist, separated, agnostic - all the sins together'. So President Michelle Bachelet describes herself, the first woman to be elected President of a Latin America country on her own account - she is not married to a famous husband. She breaks many moulds, being herself tortured under the Pinochet regime and being the daughter of a man who died in one of Pinochet's prisons. Yet she has talked of turning Chile's hate into love. Gavin Esler asks her if this is realistic.
