In 1985, the Buenos Aires Federal Chamber of Appeals prosecuted the leaders of the three military juntas that ruled the country between 1976 and 1983 unleashing state terrorism on the population. It came to be known as the ‘Trial of the Juntas’. Based on the real-life court testimonies of the landmark trial, the film premiered in Berlinale’s Forum section earlier this year. “We created our own dramatic structure freely, without following the chronology of the trial,” said De la Orden to the Buenos Aires Herald. “The film is also a starting point,” De la Orden told the Herald.
