Detrás de la sombra

Detrás de la sombra

In the Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina in the early 1980s, the global public aligned with the UK. The Argentinian dictatorship thus wanted to influence the public opinion by propaganda activities. To be able to accuse the UK of killing civilians, a non involved fishing boat was directed towards the contested maritime area. The crew was told about the plan when it was already too late and suffers from the traumatic experience since then. The fishermen give account of what happened and how they dealt with it.
