Act of Violence Upon a Young Journalist is a film shot in 1988 and released on VHS in 1989; a mysterious cult work of Uruguayan cinema surrounded by strange theories about Manuel Lamas, its unknown creator. Until now.

The venerable VHS may have surprises. A strange spell captures the protagonists, who are friends, and submerges them straight into the world of the most implausible Argentine cop films. An amazing flow of images lost, forgotten and recovered whose consumption threatens to become addictive.

A documentary reading and oral reconstruction, based on interviews and archival material, of the collaboration between Héctor Olivera and Roger Corman in the 1980s, which led to the production of ten films in Argentina. This is a virtually unknown period in the history of Argentine cinema. Currently a WIP movie.
