As you all will hopefully remember, Argentina experienced a Dirty War during its military regime, when dissidents "disappeared" and were tortured. Some of these "desaparecidos" were parents, and their children were illegally adopted out to families, often military or political families. This past week, one woman has pressed charges against her adoptive parents to 25 years imprisonment for concealing her identity and falsifying adoption papers. [ AP article ]
>> An interesting movie that explores another perspective of this topic: "The Official Story" (1985), which we watched last semester, if you're interested.
