Argentina 1985 – Global Roots Film Festival

Part of the Global Roots Film Festival, visit the VTIFF website for a full schedule and tickets

A fascinating historical re-enactment of a major historical moment in Argentinian history. The film succeeds in balancing the pathos of the David-vs-Goliath Trial of the Juntas with a lightness of touch. Julio Strassera, a public prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, a young lawyer, and their inexperienced legal team dared to prosecute the heads of Argentina’s bloody military dictatorship and, against all odds, bring them to justice in a race against time.
