Yes there is another film like this: it's called "Road to Guantanamo". You should check it out and thank God you don't live in the country where it is set... oh wait...
They call me MISTER Jinx

+++ ies it safe? +++
¡Que suerte! Que afortunados los que no viven en paises latinoamericanos, donde los militares locales, fueron entrenados por comandos YANQUIS en metodos de secuestro y tortura. Desde Panama a Argentina nuestro problema es el mismo.
¿Quieren escuchar un buen chiste?
Pregunta : ¿Porque en estados unidos nunca hay golpes de estado?
Respuesta : Porque no hay embajada de EEUU.
(I'll try a translation; to enable US natives to read the previous response to the original posting):
How lucky! They are so lucky, those that do not live in latin-american countries, where the local militaries were trained by yankee instructors in methods of abduction and torture. From Panama to Argentine, our problem is the same.
Do you want to hear a good joke?
Q: Why are there no putsches in the United States?
A: Because there is no US embassy.
[Others mentioned the 'School of the Americas' (SOA). This institution, recently renamed to 'Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation' and located in Fort Benning, Georgia, USA, was founded in 1946(?) in the U.S.-panama canal zone as 'escuela de las americas', but was set fully into action only after the Castros, Cienfugos, Guevara, et al. successfully toppled cuban dictator general Batista in 1959 and declared cuba a socialist republic in 1961.
It was the revered president Kennedy under whom the SOA (to stem the feared 'red tide' of communism) became the training centre for all these nasty counter-insurgency ('Coin') tactics, some of them were demonstrated in the movie that this discussion is about. Another set of techniques (with a wide overlap with 'Coin', e.g. as far as abduction, interrogation, torture and assassination are concerned) were later to be refined and coined 'low intensity warfare' by the Reagen administration in its war against the nicaraguan state.
Former alumni are responsible for a lot of the torture and murder and general cruelty (and btw. drug smuggling, e.g. Manuel Noriega, former dictator of Panama) that took/is taking place in the americas, as can be researched by anyone interested.]
OH YEAH GOOD OL'USA!!! JEE WHAT A GREAT COUNTRY. YOU MUST BE AN IDIOT WITH YOUR HEAD STUCK IN THE SAND! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN PRISONS ACROSS AMERICA! DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YOUR SWEET USA IS ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD!! ALL THOSE GENERAL WERE TRAINED IN THE NOTORIOUS SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS IN PANAMA LEAD BY NO OTHER THAN THE UNITED STATES ARMY!
sharethe U.S. knew full well what was going on in Argentina and other South American countries during the 1970's, they didnt care because they preferred dicators to communists. look what we helped do with Pinochet in Chile, i ronically on 9/11/1973
shareNot only USA knew what was going on, USA supported and trained the militars to do that (read about "Escuela de las Américas"). You all american citizens must stop believing that your country is THE good, because it's not like that! Open your eyes please, and THINK!!!!!!
Most of the guys responsible for these repressive regimes in South American countries were trained at the School of the Americas - Galtieri and Viola from Argentina, Noriega from Panama etc.
You might also want to read up on the CIA's involvement in the overthrow of the Allende regime in Chile which paved the way for the junta under Pinochet which was as brutal and sadistic as anything in Argentina.
If you want to see another movie about Argentina's dirty war, look up La Noche de los Lapiches (Night of the Pencils) which tells the story of a group of teenage student activists who were disappeared by the junta. Only 4 of the 10 survived and the fate of the others will probably never be known.
