In keeping with the spirit of what our Argentinian colleague Rita Sacca
wrote concerning the "desaparecidos", I highly recommend the
documentary film ASESINO (Israel, 2002, video, 57 min.) by the
outstanding Israeli film maker, Nurit Kedar. This film "profiles the
victims, murdered by the virulently anti-semitic Argentinian
military, and the victims' families, whose lives were torn asumnder
by what happened to their loved ones."
Another excellent film about the Argentinian situation is TO LIVE
WITH TERROR (USA, 2002, video, 58 min.), about the attacks in Buenos
Aires in the 1990's. Ton Vriens is the director. The film "places
these brazen murders in the context of historical anti-Semitism in
Argentina, ex- President Carlos Menem's ties to the Arab world and
even Israeli government reluctance to pressure the Argentinians to
investigate the crimes."
