IMDB

Ten years after the Law of Expiration, this documentary analyses the historical background of Uruguay's recent past. It is a survey of the controversy stirred up in society by the fact that, thanks to this law, the armed forces personnel and police who committed crimes under the dictatorship (1973-1985) have gone unpunished, and it examines the scars the authoritarian regime left on a section of the population.
