PRESENTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE EMBASSY OF ARGENTINA

In 1985, shortly after Argentina’s return to democracy, public prosecutor Julio Strassera (Ricardo Darín) reluctantly accepts the unprecedented and dangerous task of bringing a case against the commanders of the country’s bloody military dictatorship for crimes against humanity during their seven-year reign of terror. Facing enormous public pressure, threats to his family, and a lack of lawyers willing to take part in the controversial proceedings, Strassera and his young deputy, Luis Moreno Ocampo (Peter Lanzani), must assemble an unlikely and inexperienced team for a monumental David-vs-Goliath battle.

Winner of the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film, this Oscar-nominated legal drama is a gripping account based the true story of the Trial of the Juntas. Lauded by critics for its authenticity and powerful narrative, this essential example of Argentinian cinema celebrates the courage of those who fought to establish justice and accountability against all odds.
