Here’s a short documentary about Argentina’s Dirty War. Being a British production, I can’t help but think that it’s a bit slanted against Argentina. The U.K. and Argentina have very poor relations, mainly because of the Guerra de las Malvinas (The Falklands War), which took place during the dictatorship.

What’s really interesting is that in all of my research of the dictatorship, many of my sources said that the military was ordered to capture leftist guerrillas/communists, but never did I see mentioned the ERP, which was the military branch of the communist Workers’ Revolutionary Party. This group is known to have tortured and murdered as many people, with some estimates as high as 1500, although the ERP does not admit to any of that.
