Traslados

With testimonies from former detainees, relatives of the disappeared, forensic scientists, lawyers, and journalists, 'Traslados' reconstructs step by step one of the most abhorrent crimes of state terrorism in Argentina: the death flights. During the last Civic-Military Dictatorship (1976-1983), thousands of kidnapped individuals were thrown alive into the sea or rivers from military planes.

The documentary articulates a complex and chilling puzzle based on extensive archival material, illustrative animations, and emotional recreations—always careful, far from sensationalism—that reveal the mechanics of these crimes, the complicit silence that surrounded them, and the progress of a truth that took decades to come to light.

With a narrative that combines rigorous investigation with the pulse of a judicial thriller, the film details the coincidences, findings, and testimonies that allowed for the judicial proof of what had been denounced for years without material evidence: that the flights existed, that they were systematic, and that they were part of the extermination plan.

In a political context marked by denialist discourses, 'Traslados' not only recovers the memory of the victims but also underscores the importance of keeping the historical truth alive. A necessary, urgent, and profoundly moving documentary.
