Argentina's stolen children - The crimes of the military dictatorship
From March 1976, Argentina was ruled for several years by a military junta led by General Jorge Videla. Some 30,000 people were abducted and murdered by the regime’s security forces. Many of their children disappeared - but where did they go? After searching for many years, investigators made a shocking discovery: many of these children had been secretly adopted by families with links to the military, and raised under new identities. In some cases, they were living with people who had been involved in the crimes committed against their parents. The documentary traces the history of Argentina's disappeared children and follows families’ ongoing search for truth, identity and justice. It focuses on the mothers and grandmothers who have been searching for their loved ones for decades, as well as the children themselves, now adults coming to terms with their origins and the circumstances of their past.
