In November 1973, two months after the military [[coup d'état]] which ousted the government of President [[Salvador Allende]] Enríquez-Ominami and his family were expelled from the country via a military decree, and barred from entering the country for the next ten years. His father, who stayed in the country to organize and lead an underground résistance against the [[Augusto Pinochet]] dictatorship, was assassinated in October 1974 by [[Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional|DINA]] agents who uncovered his secret location in [[Santiago, Chile|Santiago]].<ref name="marcobio"/>

==Film and television career==
From 1990 to 1995 Enríquez-Ominami completed a bachelor's degree in
From 1998 Enríquez-Ominami began working as executive director of Rivas y Rivas producing company. In 2002 after producing and directing several shorts, feature films, reports, television ads and television films, he directed the political documentary ''Chile, los héroes están fatigados'' ("Chile, the heroes are exhausted"), which was selected to open the 16th FIPA film festival in [[Biarritz]]. The documentary was awarded at film festivals in [[Serbia and Montenegro]] and [[San Diego, California]]. In 2005 Enríquez-Ominami created and presided the ChileMedios Foundation, through which he developed several studies on local television audience behavior. In 2008, he directed the comedy film ''[[Mansacue]]'' produced by his production company and which was based on the television series ''La vida es una lotería'' by [[Televisión Nacional de Chile|TVN]].

==Political career==

In December 2005 Enríquez-Ominami was elected [[Chamber of Deputies of Chile|deputy]] for [[Electoral division of Chile|District 10]] in central Chile for a period of four years. He obtained the highest vote in that district's history. As deputy, he worked on the Science and Technology and Agricultural commissions, and presided the Investigating Commission on State-funded advertisement and the Special Commission on the study of the Chilean political regime. He has introduced around 150 bills, many of which have been approved.<ref name="marcobio"/>
In December 2008, Enríquez-Ominami said he was available to compete with [[José Miguel Insulza]] and [[Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle|Eduardo Frei]] in the [[Concertación]] presidential primaries. However, after claiming the Concertación leadership changed the primary rules in order to bar him from the process, Enríquez-Ominami decided to run as an independent. With the financial support of businessman [[Max Marambio]], he began the process of collecting nearly 36,000 signatures needed to register his independent candidacy. He made extensive use of [[social networking]] Internet sites for this effect. In June 2009 he resigned from the [[Socialist Party of Chile|Socialist Party]] to meet the legal deadline.
Despite being relatively unknown, Enríquez-Ominami quickly rose in opinion polls, garnering 10% of support by April 2009, capturing the leftist electorate dissatisfied with the choice of Christian Democrat [[Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle|Eduardo Frei]] as the Concertación candidate. For the parallel [[2009 Chilean parliamentary election|legislative elections]], he launched his own list of candidates, which was split between independent candidates (including three lawmakers seeking reelection) and members of two minor parties that supported his candidacy: the [[Humanist Party (Chile)|Humanist Party]] and the [[Ecologist Party (Chile)|Ecologist Party]]. He placed the strongest candidates in districts where Concertación party-leaders were vying for seats. However, though he made a strong showing, Enríquez-Ominami ultimately fell short and was eliminated in the first round of voting with 20.13% of the vote.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elecciones.gob.cl/Sitio2009/index.html|language=Spanish|accessdate=2009-12-17|publisher=Ministerio del Interior|title=2009 Elecciones|
