October 25 is shaping up to be a historic day for Chile. Voters are due to take part in a referendum on amending Pinochet-era constitution. The vote is the culmination of a year of protests, to which the government responded with a violent crackdown.

These injured protesters have become the martyrs of the Chilean revolution. Our reporters went to meet them and gauge the anger of the young generation.
