Latin American historical repression documentaries

Overview

New documentary films are examining historical repression and human rights violations in Argentina and Chile.

In Argentina, productions such as ‘Pasó en el Delta’ investigate the “death flights” used during the civic-military dictatorship to murder disappeared persons in the Delta region. Other works include ‘Pedro en el país’, which explores the life of Peronist militant Pedro Catella, and ‘Todo documento de civilización’, a film essay detailing the 2008 disappearance and torture of Luciano Arruga by provincial police.

In Chile, the documentary ‘Cocaína Negra’ examines the life of Eugenio Berríos, a biochemist for the DINA repressive apparatus, and his links to crimes including the 1976 assassination of Orlando Letelier.
