Cabildo 71 — Twelve political prisoners form a women’s choir to escape from the Cabildo convent prison. On March 8, 1970, during mass, they run through the chapel aisle and escape from the nuns who are guarding them. A year later, there are no nuns — there are police officers, many more prisoners, and the largest escape from a women’s prison in history is secretly being planned.
