It perfectly express what we, Argentinos, lived during those times of suffering., 16 January 1999
8/10
Author: Tebi from Bella Vista, Argentina

I really don´t know whether someone from other country, someone who doesn´t know our suffering during the military goverment, would like this movie. I loved it because I saw on screen what my family lived just two decades ago. I think that this movie is a documental that everyone should see to realize that what happened only 20 years ago, shouldn´t happen again in any civilized country.
