Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by David GThis movie shows the horrors of the Argentinean military regime and its dictators. How the students were repressed, disappeared and tortured in a way that it's shocking! Watch and understand some of the horrors of the latinoamerican regimes of the 20th. century. There was absolutely no freedom of speech or action to these poor kids. RIP guys and I can only say: You were unbelievable brave!

User Review - 10/10 by Janis CUna película que capta sólo una parte de lo que realmente es la historia de Argentina que aún resiente lo sucedio y sigue habiendo consecuencias. Recomendada para aquellos que se interesan por el bien común y la libertad de expresión.
