Despite Treblinka
Camera Operator
In 1942, nazi leaders met in Wansee to organize the final solution to the Jewish problem. The Warsaw guetto was first. Treblinka was created in a rural village near the Polish capital. 900.000 Jews and 500 Gypsies were murdered in 13 months. On August, 1943, the prisoners revolted and destroyed the camp. Only a few survived. Less than 10 worldwide remain today. Despite Treblinka tells the story of Mr. Rajchman, Mr. Wilenberg and Mr. Teigman. The movie follows the protagonists' paths in fairly chronological manner, from pre-war years, through Treblinka and the uprising, to the recent past and present, where a series of vignettes, often hilarious, show the possibility of living “despite” the horror.

Héctor the Weaver
Camera Operator
Héctor Rodríguez (1918-1996) was one of the outstanding figures in the people's movement in Uruguay. He was a textile worker and also a member of parliament for the Communist Party, and he was expelled from their ranks in the 1950s. He was a journalist, a militant activist and a political prisoner, and a key force in trade union unity and left wing politics in Uruguay. His life was bound up with some of the most important events in the history of this country after 1930. As well as Héctor's own testimony we have the voices of textile workers, intellectuals, union members and politicians, in a rich mixture of archive film and photographs.

The Uncertain Hope
Camera Operator
This documentary was shot in four countries in the Southern Cone of South America over a two-week period. It examines the democracies that re-emerged after military rule and we hear the testimony of presidents Carlos Menem, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Patricio Alwyn and Luis Alberto Lacalle, and the reflections of many other key figures of that time. There is also an early discussion of the regional integration process that these countries were planning to promote, so we are shown a representative mosaic of each country, which makes this material truly unique.
