:stephan: This movie has everything: unequal exchange, neocolonialism, Jakarta method, parapolitical death squads, School of the Americas, USAID/CIA connections, urban guerrillas. It's like every book I've read in the last year and comrade Costa-Gavras put it all in a movie 50 years ago. It's about the Tupamaros fighting against US fascist intervention in Uruguay.

While it was released one year later in American theaters, a storm of controversy developed. Many U.S. officials hated the movie and even stated that it was a heap of lies about U.S. involvement in Latin America and other third world countries. In Washington, D.C., it was removed from a special screening at the John F. Kennedy Center, only to be run uncut on a local TV station.

Cool shit, high recommend. I'm working my way through Costa-Gavras' filmography this dude was fucking tight.
