“Real truths, the life of Estela de Carlotto”, the iconic and award-winning Valladolid – Seminci Festival (Official Selection) film by Nicolá Gil Lavedra, was screened at 9.30 pm on Wednesday 31 July in the atrium of the new Town Hall of Patras.
Cinema fans watched the life of Estela de Carlotto, human rights activist, president of the “Grandmothers of May Square” in Argentina unfold on the big screen.
The film is dedicated to the missing persons of the dictatorship in the country and their children and refers to the military coup that replaced the country’s constitutional government. It also describes the policies of terrorism and violation of human rights that they implemented every day, while within a few years thousands of citizens, mainly dissidents, of different ages and social strata mysteriously disappeared, while others were murdered.
Among the victims of the regime were young women, young children and unborn babies. Women who were pregnant during their arrest gave birth in prisons and their babies after they were kidnapped were given for adoption to soldiers and people friendly to the regime.
