Story

This documentary examines how Argentine television shaped public opinion during a 1982 military conflict over a disputed territory. Drawing entirely from broadcasts of a popular TV program, the film traces how media coverage was used to mobilize citizens and frame government actions. Over 74 days, viewers see how news anchors, celebrity appearances, and patriotic appeals worked to build support for the military's objectives.

Rare archival footage showing state media propaganda techniques in action
Directed by Lucas Gallo, examining journalism's role during political crisis
Entirely constructed from historical TV broadcasts, offering authentic period perspective

Good for: Viewers interested in media history and political documentaries; not marketed for family audiences.
