Raúl Alfonsín

Documentary about the last year of Raul Alfonsin's presidency, marked by extreme political tensions.

In 1986, President Raúl Alfonsín attempted to move the Argentine capital to the small city of Viedma, in Río Negro. This film tells of the rise and fall of one of the biggest, most extravagant dreams in our history.

Raúl Alfonsín is a central figure to understand Argentina over the last 55 years. This series sets a journey over key elements to know the man, the militant, the president and the myth.

The first Carapintada uprising in 1987 puts Raúl Alfonsín’s presidency in check. A meeting and a speech install an even more latent enigma.

1983: After more than seven years of terror, the Argentineans recover the democracy. The reconstruction of a climate of time and an event that marked a point of break not only in the policy but in the culture and the arts of Argentina

Documentary based on original and personal interviews with Argentine presidents since the return of democracy in 1983 where they speak direct to camera and in the foreground, their mandate, their privacy and country.

This is the story of an optimistic and amnesiac people who, at the slightest glimmer of light, are prone to forget the pain caused by repeating their mistakes at the polls or by knocking on the doors of the barracks, and rush into hopeful celebration: a dubious World Cup, a war with England, the coming of democracy, etc. And so, between pain and celebration, they await that promised future of abundance.

Short documentary film directed by Gustavo Mosquera R. during Raúl Alfonsín's presidency (who also narrates the short). It illustrates the landscape of Viedma, during the planning of a later failed project that consisted of moving the capital of Argentina from Buenos Aires to this other city.

This documentary follows the events of the recient history of Argentina, especially from 1930 to 1976.
