CBPF; Film editing, Yasha Aginsky, Irving Shaf; original music by Mark Adler.; Narrator, Carmen Zapata.; "Las Madres: The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo documents the courageous political actions of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a group of Argentine women who gather weekly at the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires to remember the children who 'disappeared' during the Dirty War (1976- 1983). Undeterred by relentless intimidation by the military government, the mothers stand together for justice, as a national conscience, to demand to know the fate of their missing loved ones. Both an overview of Argentina's tumultuous recent past and a riveting profile of an woman-led resistance movement, Las Madres continues to provide an uplifting example of human rights activism and oppositional struggle today."--Lourdes Portillo, http: //www.lourdesportillo.com/films/films_madres; PFA 1620-01-16073.
