General Videla Part 4: Dictator in the Courtroom

A legal case is brought against Videla. Justice for his victims is finally within reach.

The Falklands War casts a long shadow over Argentina as the junta teeters on the verge of collapse. The country slowly returns to democracy. But that isn’t the end of Videla’s time in the spotlight. As a heroic legal case is brought against him, justice for his victims finally seems within reach. We’ll meet a man who sat mere feet away from Videla in the courtroom - a young prosecutor with the hopes of a nation resting on his shoulders…

A Noiser production, written by John Bartlett.
