Memoria del saqueo

Making use of interviews and archival footage, a journey through Argentina’s recent history: democracy confiscated by corrupt presidents, the heavy national debt, control by international organisations, the increasing power of Mafia groups… “The dramatic circumstances in which we are living took me back to my very beginnings in film. The situation today has changed a great deal, but the consequences of neo-liberal politics in Argentina have proved so disastrous that, once again, I am forced to bear witness to all that we have endured in the 25 years since Videla’s dictatorship up to the present day. By composing a living fresco in my film, I wish to contribute to the urgent debate taking place in Argentina, Latin America and the world at large about the deshumanising effects of globalisation. At the same time, the film attempts to show that another world is possible” (F.Solanas)
