This documentary provides an entry point for those unfamiliar with Argentina's political and bloody past during 1977 - 1983. The film chronicles Argentinian Juan Mandelbaum's return after thirty years. It is his memory and admiration for an old friend Patricia Dixon that inspired his quest for knowledge. Mandelbaum revisits the sociology department at his university where he finds Patricia's name among the “disappeared” alumni. There is news footage of Juan Peron's return to power, interview clips with officials including Henry Kissinger and commemorative accounts of the military's fierce hunt for the leftist activists who were taken and silenced. The scars left by those who were silenced - Argentina's “disappeared” - are shared by surviving generations and loved ones in the film. Join us after the film for a discussion with some of these relatives.
