Anyone else watch this last night?

For most of it, I was welling up with stories of 300,000 people disappeared, and 500 known children missing (not counting unknown). I was feeling deep admiration for a group of grandmothers who dared stand up to a military dictatorship which was mass murdering it's own citizens. I felt for those who discovered their entire life had been a lie when they found out that their parents were in a number of cases the people responsible for their biological parents' deaths. And some relief when they showed the families that were successfully reunited.

But then there was the revulsion of the vile lawyers representing the murderers and torturers, who said, in defiance of all the evidence, that there were no 300,000 disappeared, or 500 missing children, and that this should all be viewed in light of the fact the country was at war.

Any country which is at war with 300,000 of it's own citizens to the point of having to extra-judiciously murder them in my opinion clearly has major issues over it's legitimacy. And the opinions of these men stink. And what was even more odious was the creepy police officer who then relied on the (what I feel to be) last desperate cry of the guilty - "Only God can judge me." I'm pleased that the answer to that is "Well no, actually we can, by sending you to jail for the rest of your life."

An excellent documentary. If it's available on 4OD and you didn't see it, I can't recommend it enough.
