Synopsis
Fernando Solanas presents a stark portrayal of Argentina's decline in "Social Genocide." The film details the aftermath of the military dictatorship that ended in 1983, as democratic governments implemented reforms intended to liberalize the economy. Instead, the privatization of national companies led to widespread corruption, with funds diverted to officials. By 2001, millions faced unemployment and malnutrition, while a banking collapse wiped out savings. The documentary critiques the complicity of multinational corporations and international agencies in this crisis.
