From 1976 to 1983, the Argentinian public lived in fear of political reprisal from a brutal military dictatorship. Thousands of citizens simply disappeared, never to be seen or heard from again, and among these abducted Argentinians were scores of children. Since 1977, a group of politically active mothers have staged a weekly protest in the famous Plaza de Mayo, urging the government to release information about their missing children and to take responsibility for the disappearances.

Walter Goodman New York Times The movie's outline of several decades of Argentine history is simplistic, and the effects used to dramatize the accounts of torture verge on the amateurish. Still, there are insights here. Dec 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
