Presentes: Memorias de lucha, represión y crítica al terrorismo de Estado (1968-1985) en Uruguay

Overview

In the midst of the Cold War, and under the US National Security Doctrine, the Uruguayan oligarchies staged the Coup d'état that inaugurated the civic-military Dictatorship. The objective was to put an end to the left-wing political and social movement that was advancing despite the widespread repression in the governments of the traditional parties. Testimonies of survivors from rural areas, and committed to a fairer world, make up this documentary that supports the process of Memory, Truth, Justice and Never Again in Uruguay from the perspective of Human Rights and Transitional Justice.
