Mario Handler, 2007, 2010, Documentary, Uruguay, 75min, Spanish with English subtitles
After a long exile in Venezuela, Uruguayan filmmaker Mario Handler returns to his native country. He senses that despite the passing of so many years, the dictatorship is still present in the media, in public opinion and above all in people’s memory. Mario openly records the testimonies of the dictatorship’s victims, politicians, policemen and a member of the military. With poetry, black humour and a sharp consciousness, Handler manages to evoke the precise and dense atmosphere of those dark times for Uruguay.
