A fascinating historical re-enactment of a major historical moment in Argentinian history. The film succeeds in balancing the pathos of the David-vs-Goliath Trial of the Juntas with a lightness of touch.   Julio Strassera, a public prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, a young lawyer, and their inexperienced legal team dared to prosecute the heads of Argentina’s bloody military dictatorship and, against all odds, bring them to justice in a race against time.
