The “General” Election

The “General” Election — Plot

This is an account of the years of the dictatorship in Uruguay, told with archive material and interviews with witnesses who remain anonymous. There is a focus on the 1984 elections and the euphoric festivities afterwards, as the people celebrated not so much the winner of the election as the end of the dictatorship and the start of the campaign for truth and justice.
