Between 1976 and 1983, thousands of Argentines opposed to the military regime were arrested and disappeared without a trace. Some were drugged and thrown alive from airplanes over the Atlantic; others were imprisoned and tortured before they were killed. This vanished generation, the Desaparecidos, left behind children, some only a few days old. Two decades later, those hijos themselves became activists, demanding to know what happened to their parents, demanding justice. Using interviews, poignant drawings by the hijos and original music, John Knoop and Karina Epperlein's Awakening from Sorrow: Buenos Aires 1997 (US 40 mins) paints a "tapestry of remembrance" filled with loss, longing and resolve. —Margarita Landazuri
