Shot over six weeks in December 1971, and January 1972, the film consisted of interviews with Protestants, Catholics, politicians, and some soldiers, combined with TV news clips of bombings and violence. The deaths of four individuals formed the central focus of the film, which Ophüls described as ‘an old, middle-aged, humanistic, social-democratic attempt to give people an idea that life after all is not that cheap’. The BBC refused to transmit the completed film on the grounds that it was ‘too pro-Irish’ (Sunday Times, 5 Nov. 1972). (via http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/media/docs/freespeech.htm)

Представьте: обшарпанные стены домов, вездесущие армейские патрули, неожиданные ночные визиты военных и внесудебные расстрелы неугодных – таков Парагвай 1974 года. Энтони Хопкинс играет известного парагвайского врача – Джоела Филартигу. По слухам, он пользуется расположением самого Стресснера и считается чуть ли не его личным другом. Это помогает ему чувствовать себя в относительной безопасности и говорить больше, чем положено остальным. Естественно, это многим не нравится. Однако доктор Филартига спокоен: влиятельные покровители и известность за границей – гарант его безопасности. Трагическая гибель сына расставляет всё по своим местам: при кровавой диктатуре никто не застрахован. Официальное заключение о смерти настолько неправдоподобно, что доктору хватает одного беглого взгляда на тело мальчика, чтобы понять: его сын погиб страшной смертью после долгих пыток.

The main actors are dead ringers for the infamous cover stars of Alex Comfort's The Joy of Sex, published the year before.
