Hi timonoj, thank you for your comment. I directed this documentary and the choice was made to focus on the efforts of the younger post dictatorship generation and their struggle for justice and accountability. The historical complicity of the United States government and its support for the dictatorship through Operation Condor is well documented and the subject of many books and documentaries before this one. I recommend John Dinges's book "The Condor Years" in particular. It is always a challenge to decide what elements of a story to include in a short film but the omission of that detail should not be taken to mean that we are not cognizant of the history of US involvement. Certainly if the US prosecuted war crimes in the same way that Argentina has then Henry Kissinger would be first on that list. Thank you for your feedback, and feel free to e-mail me any time (link on my website).

@Tomas Flores you really believe that propaganda? You've been Condored.

@Tomas Flores Tomas, you make a short film and then we'll all tell YOU the ways your hard work and time wasn't good enough.

@@seanmattison Hi as an argentinian already cognizant of the power of the "escrache" I really thougnht this was about US involvement in what their "neighbourgs" were doing given that that is a part I realy feel is missing in the liberal US memory. Its nice to se a documentary about that fight dont get me wrong. Its just not the documentary I think your readers need to see

@@seanmattison you did it good mate

think you mean the Nuremberg Principles. I don't meant o be pedantic, but it's a pretty important difference. The Nuremberg Laws were the Nazis' own laws that, among other things, stripped Jews of their citizenship.

@@ulture Thanks, Ed. I was not aware of that. It's a quote from Chomsky; seems like he should have known the difference, but maybe not.

The guerillas were financed by Russia and trained in Cuba. Don't YOU forget about that.

@@fedvvvv good

@@ulture I think the perspective Chomsky was using were the laws that came about as a result of the trials. Formalized with joining the UN charter.

Latinamericans seem to do the same exact thing over an over again, forget the past mistakes and repeat them with the hope this time they'll work. Saludos desde Argentina.

Enforced dissapearance keeps happening in Argentina. Im a lawyer and suvivor, and I recorded my own kidnapping in a cell phone, just a few minutes before we got taken. The first time it happened was in 2013,, in the Goverment of Cristina Kirchner. i recorded policemen geting into our company at night, with unidentified cars, without a uniform, covered faces, without "legal procedure witnesses"*, and without any kind of warrant. That was 100% against every argentinian of law. The guy leading the assault group was the Chief of the Federal Police, Marcelo Lepwalts, recently sentenced for narcotraffic, and conspirancy. He took our company by assault. 30 people were murdered. This crimes were commited with political suppourt, and still unpunished. Back in the 70s, it was an ideology conflict (comunism vs capitalism). Now its all about narco-politicians, lots of money, and politicians who want to hide his crimes. i was very lucky to be released alive, and I gueess it happens cause many saw when they took me. The criminals behind that were mafias, and (as i sayd) the chief of the Federal police of Santa Fe (the "Argentinian Sinaloa"). They killed more people than the military dictatorship, but everything was silenced cause they control the press and the goverment. I will release my own report in ENGLISH soon. if you care about Human Rights, please stay tuned. Prosecution against military was not about justice. It was about revenge and politicians impunity. They took goverment in the 83, they start robbing, and even his grand sons of this politicians had never ever worked. Every politician becomes a millionaire. The country and the people were sacked.

@@jorgecesaro8903how you know the were policemen?😊

30,000 people were killed in a less than 30 million large countgry - Argentina. In Brazil, little over 500 people were killed and the country had over 100 million people. The Amnesty law applies to all - the agents of repression and those who commited terrorism. BTW, an important reason for why the law isn't serously challenged is that a lot of those who now are prominent politicians not only would be afftected but also the collaboration of some of them will be revealed.

The United States is responsible for the genocide BTW

Not all, that’s just an overstatement, but the US definitely backed a lot of coup d’états and dictatorships all around Latin America.

​@@hassenvenero5126 Argentina (Videla), Chile (Pinochet), Brazil(Castelo Branco), Uruguay (Bordaberry), Paraguay (Stroessner), Nicaragua (Somoza),Panamá (Noriega, even that he was captured after being used by the US), and the list keep going, even that we are only talking about coups, we are not talking about death squads, kidnappings and voter fraud, the US is the mainly responsible of all of this.

@@heilnop8014 yeah, but those are not all the coups that have existed in Latin America, aren’t they? That’s my point

They backed all of them alright, but didn't organize'em all.... The longest of the dictatorships, the Brazilian one, that lasted for 21 years, wasn't organized by the US, for instance. Backed by US sure, bot not organized neither idealized by it.

@@dcmacnamara6014 actually that could have happened... the people who was not a direct suspicious of subversion was easily located... most of them were locked inside police stations... the problem was the amount of corruption and the power of the dictatorship government that really made difficult the process of legal justice to work. If you want more documentation there’s a compiled of declarations made by a national commission after return of democracy called Nunca Más (never again) report

"Forbidden birds" by Eduardo Galeano Uruguayan political prisoners cannot speak, whistle, smile, sing, walk fast, or greet another prisoner without permission. They also cannot draw or receive pictures of pregnant women, couples, butterflies, stars, or birds. 1976, in a prison in Uruguay. Didasko Pérez, a school teacher, tortured and imprisoned for having “ideological ideas”, receives a visit from his five-year-old daughter Milay on Sunday. She brings him a drawing of birds. The censors tear it up at the entrance of the jail. The following Sunday, Milay brings him a drawing of trees. Trees are not prohibited, so the drawing is allowed. Didasko praises his daughter's work and asks about the colored circles that appear in the treetops, many small circles among the branches: -Are they oranges? What fruits are they? The girl shuts him up: -Ssshhhh. And secretly explains: -Silly!. Don't you see that they're eyes? The eyes of the birds that I secretly brought you.

Here in the United States, all our rights are being given away because it may offend someone’s feelings.

@B Babbich You don't history much, do ya? "The US was looking for allies to stop Russia from moving in, thats it" is a wholly incorrect statement. The CIA was heavily involved in installing and supporting this regime. And much like where Jakarta, Indonesia where they honed these methods of killing leftists, they were actively involved in the murder campaigns as well.

@B Babbich Really? US is not involved? 😀😀😀 Search for "school of the Américas" and learn who trained the killers and organised all this military coups.

@B Babbich The alternative was democracy and freedom. You were fed up with anti commie propaganda so much that you cant even recognize history? All latin american dictatorships were replaced not by commies but by liberal democratic regimes, the same kind of regimes that existed before the involvement of the USA during the cold war. You are literally justifying the unjustifiable just to save face. Shame on you.

​@Nick Arjomand You are just making things up and know nothing about Argentina's history. KGB intervention in terrorizing politicians? Where did you learn that?!

@B Babbich You can't look at history in a vacuum. It just doesn't make sense. "Ignoring the Cold War geopolitical angle" just removes half of the story.

I'm really impressed how Argentinians fought for justice peacefully. Their stategy was genius. Organize and go to the criminals house and let his neighbors know and point him out and yell :" j'accuse!!" In a sense it sounds simple but would never have thought something like that would be really effective. And yet how could authorities counter that? Well done Argentina!

What does that mean? Jump to the forklift?

The CIA acts independently of the American people.

They didn't do nothing. First they trained military officials and personnel from Argentina and all the Latin-american countries to "counter-insurgency" techniques in the "Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation" at Fort Benning in Georgia. By "counter-insurgency techniques" they meant how to target, kidnap and torture activists to gather information and dismantle political organizations. Have a look at their graduates list on wikipedia, it's a who's who of all the worst genocide perpetrators of that era. Then they financed the coups and provided strategic support, sometimes military support too.

They also had FBI an CIA agents who toured these countries to teach and demonstrate torture techniques to Latin-american military personnel. They sometimes kidnapped homeless people for that purpose. Have a look at the story of Dan Mitrione, he was one of those. And when he died Sinatra and Jerry Lewis held a benefit concert for his family.

Well, they did a lot. They created those atrocities.

You must inform yourself. They did something, they supported the genocide

@Nick Arjomand Untrue? just google Operation Condor. In fact, last year EEUU Declassified Documentation regarding this topic.

@Nick Arjomand I wasnt yours to take back. Also the guerrillas were used as an excuse, as they were never substantial enough to control territory, gain material support by any foreign power, or otherwise threaten your national security.

@Nick Persopolis that's so NOT true 😂. I've been all around Argentina (My Home country) and I can tell you that that's complete bs. Stop denying the facts. US gave logistical and political support to almost (if not all) of latin america's dictatorships.

@Nick Persopolis you know nothing about "the guerrillas". Just pure propaganda. Please, learn some proper history. The "guerrillas" came AFTER the dictatorship, not before. Your argument makes no sense.

@Nick Persopolis all your arguments are pure contradiction. Saying "you are not right" isn't a valid point. I dont know where did you learn history, but it seems we have very different sources. I have the data to back what i said (from the US in fact). So, unless you have a valid argument besides "You are lying" continuing this makes no sense.
