THE STORY
Between 1973 and 1984, Uruguay was in the hands of a military regime: a particularly oppressive dictatorship, which tolerated no organization for the defense of human rights. This former "Switzerland of Latin America" was frozen into absolute political, economical and social immobility. No other country on this continent had gone so far in the exercise of terror. "Welcome to Uruguay" shows, dissects and analyses the mechanisms of terror, questioning those who were a part of this drama: the Uruguayan authorities, the former political prisoners and the relatives of the missing.
