It's Friday Night! Party Time! Time to relax, put your feet up on the couch, lay back, and watch some detailed videos on economic policy!
This evening's documentary is on the effects of globalization agendas and policies on Argentina. The focus is on the aftermath of the Argintine economic crisis.
¿Sería Buenos Aires? / Maybe Buenos Aires? (2006)
Note the similarities to so many recent events. The Visual Suspects, is the group who made this film.
Luis Caro emigrated to Madrid in 2002, where he had to survive without his family, playing music in the underground. A year and a half later, again in Argentina, he remembered and compared this experience with the exile that he suffered with his family during the last dictatorship (1976-83). With his particular sense of humor he takes stock of the last 25 years.
This film is more of an art film, emotional impressions, devastations than details in what happened in Argentina.
Comments
Thansk for sharing!
A universal story that touches upon many of the themes that cross the modern world we live in: dislocation of people, destruction of their dreams overnight by crises they are not responsible for and their efforts to survive.
