Javier Rodriguez is a police officer who
suffered torture during the last military dictatorship in Argentina. After his
exile in Denmark, he returns to his home country to find out that some of the
same police officers who tortured him are now senior officials.
This film is about the long-lasting effects of the violence of the past, and about the role that survivors of political repression have had (and still have) in the struggle against impunity.
This film is also about the difficulties of representation of the testimonial accounts of survivors.
The talk will be in Spanish and is open to the public.
