Selected Film
Una y mil veces (I’d Do It All Over Again) is a documentary film about fifty-two Uruguayan political exiles. When a dictatorship was taking place in their own country, these young activists decided to leave for Nicaragua to take part in the Sandinista National Liberation Front and fight against Anastasio Somoza’s regime. Their journey included going through Chile and Argentina and even having military training in Cuba. Despite their youth and the fact that they were very far from home, they never forgot their ideals nor left their political and social commitment behind and were sure to give their lives for a kindred Latin American people the moment it needed the most help. This documentary is narrated by the protagonists of that experience and their families. It aims to explore the motivation they had to give their lives for a cause that seems very distant at first glance, but it also intends to show how life was in the 70s, a decade deeply marked by the violence provoked by the many dictatorships that were taking place in different countries in Latin America.
