As our review of Argentina, 1985 reveals, the film is inspired by the true story of prosecutors Julio Strassera and Luis Moreno Ocampo, who in 1985 had the courage to investigate and prosecute Argentina’s bloodiest military dictatorship ever. Undeterred by the military’s still considerable influence within their fragile new democracy, Strassera and Moreno Ocampo have assembled a young legal team of unlikely heroes for their David-versus-Goliath battle. Despite constant threats to themselves and their families, they have struggled to bring justice to the victims of the military junta.

“I still remember the day Strassera filed the indictment: the roar of the courtroom, the excitement of my parents, the streets finally able to celebrate something other than a soccer match, the idea of justice as an act of healing. The 1985 trial allowed Argentine justice to recognize and vindicate a right long denied. In the course of my research I came across unknown aspects of the story: the background of the prosecutors, the young inexperienced team, the region still under dictatorship.This story touched me deeply, igniting in me the desire to make a film about justice and to delve into cinematic and political research as I had never done in my previous films, this time based on real facts happened” declares director Santiago Miter.
