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.

Sebastián
В фильме чилийского режиссёра Мигеля Литтина показывается одна из тёмных страниц истории Чили – жестокое подавление восстания рабочих на селитряных рудниках. Будучи в изгнании во времена правления Пиночета, Литин снимал этот фильм на севере Мексики, где климат и пейзаж соответствовали северу Чили – именно тем провинциям, где и происходили описываемые события. Сценарием к фильму послужил роман Патрисио Маннса, написанного им на основе рассказов очевидцев массовых убийств и пыток, происходивших в начале ХХ века, когда хозяевами Чили фактически являлись иностранные капиталисты. В целях адаптации к телетрансляции и, наверное, из морально-этических соображений из фильма были вырезаны сцены насилия солдат над задержанными рабочими и их жёнами в камере пыток, что в некоторой мере преуменьшает понимание эмоциональной составляющей борьбы за свои права и достойную жизнь.
