    In my dreams, sometime in the future there will be a movie like the (excellent) film Argentina 1985, but it will be called USA 2030 and be about the prosecutors who (successfully) prosecute Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and all the others.

    Just watched movie “Argentina 1985.” Chilling given where we are today in USA. I hope we don’t descend as deep into fascism and cruelty as they did but that is exactly what MAGA DOGE is driving towards. not a given that we survive as a democracy.

    We watched the movie “Argentina 1985” instead of the Super Bowl. It is a movie about how the civilian courts in Argentina put the military junta leaders on trial for the kidnappings, torture, and murder of 30,000 Argentinian civilians who were denied the right of a trial. Fascists don’t do trials.

    I suspect this is actually completely wrongheaded and that the number of people who have Amazon Prime because it is the only way to watch 'Argentina, 1985' is basically zero. It is all loss, no leader. (Argentina, 1985 is a great film by the way.)

    I just watched the movie Argentina, 1985 on the flight home yesterday (great movie) and realized that we need to spread more thick the realization that those who are standing next to Drumpf will be also standing in a court for crimes against humanity because "I was following orders" isn't a defense.

    Today I saw the acclaimed movie "Argentina 1985", what the director has achieved was fascinating. Basically, he gave the Argentine democratization process the place it deserved, in an extremely hostile environment, the courage of those who knew how to defend justice in the face of a sea of threats.

    The film “Argentina, 1985,” portrays the prosecution of the leaders of the Argentine military junta for the brutal kidnappings, torture, murders, and disappearances committed during Argentina’s “Dirty War” of 1976-83. This gave me some hope, but first we must restore our democracy.

    I'm looking forward to checking it out. I went through a phase of watching those kind of movies almost a year ago, for obvious reasons. Argentina 1985 (which I don't think is related, despite similar names and topics) is a lot less interesting. Very much an 'Oscars' movie. Hence the nod, I guess.

Murder, rape, torture are just the tip of the criminal iceberg as he tries to assemble witnesses that have the courage to stand up and be heard in the face of intimidation and threats.
