La memoria de nuestro pueblo (1972)

Overview

"La memoria de nuestro pueblo opens with the testimony of a worker from the northern part of the province of Santa Fe recounting the exploitation suffered by the working class. Next, Perón’s presence is made explicit: images of the bombing of the Plaza de Mayo and the demonstration calling for Perón are shown, along with images of the workers who defended Perón. The worker also expresses his opposition to the union bureaucracy, which he accuses of treason and selling out. He proposes breaking off dialogue and launching a genuine armed struggle, which, from his Peronist perspective, “is not violence but justice.”" (Javier Cossalter)
