Las Madres:
The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo

Reviews

" ... An emotionally moving, technically solid, first rate piece of reportage... the filmakers have deftly told the entire grisly story and earned a nomination in the Academy's feature documentary category."

--Variety, March 1986

"With South Africa reminding us daily that the threat to human rights is unremitting, the arrival of The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo is timely. Munoz and Portillo's moving, unpolished, first hand account of courage in the face of massive repression was npt surprisingly nominated for this year's Oscar for best documentary."

-- The London Times, June 1986
