Mentiras Armadas. Operaciones de prensa y comunicación de la dictadura uruguaya

In October 1976, the Uruguayan Armed Forces exhibited to the media a group of militants kidnapped in Buenos Aires months before, as if they had just been captured in national territory. The assembly sought to counteract the international campaign for human rights violations in Uruguay and was possible because the State had a monopoly on information on the anti-subversive struggle. Survivors of the kidnapping evoke the events, while specialists and journalists analyze the historical context and the media of the time.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
