If you've enjoyed Secretos de Lucha, you might also enjoy: Battle for Haditha, Nick Broomfield, docufiction now in the theatres. I was very moved by this film, because it 's heartbreaking to see how the military logics are so naturally inhumane... Dile a Mario que no vuelva, Mario Handler's last documentary, 2008. Mario Handler is THE Uruguayan documentary film maker most wellknown in the world. His last film gathers his thought as he comes back to Uruguay after years of exile, and interviews and collects testimonies among his close friends, people who lived and stayed in Uruguay during the dictatorship, some of them members of the Tupamaro guerrilla, who where arrested and tortured. Also an incredible interview of a military who explains his point of view, on torture, and its justifications. There are some very strong moments, unfortunately baldly supported by a very rough form, and a chaotic editing. In Our Name, documentary directed by Chris Tuckfield. This documentary explores the justification of torture nowadays, and asks the audience when torture can be legitimate: would you support torture interrogation techniques if this would allow your daughter to be saved from a terrorist bomb threat in her school? Some very unsettling reenacment of tortures scenes might disturb an unprepared audience. Hate, by Mitzi Goldman. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- information about Uruguay's history, and also about other Latin American countries.
