Fifty Years After the Coup, Argentina Still Marches for Justice

·16 min·1 clip

The 1976 Argentine coup disappeared 30,000 people in just seven years under a U.S.-backed military dictatorship.

This episode commemorates the 50th anniversary of Argentina's 1976 military coup by telling three stories of resistance: the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo who marched for their disappeared children, a clandestine printing press that distributed banned materials, and the student victims of the 'Night of the Pencils' kidnappings. It connects these historical acts of defiance to ongoing struggles for justice and memory in contemporary Argentina.
