About the film
What is memory and how important it is to remember? What is the role that documentary films have to créate the collective memory, to review the past and to build the future? Abner Benaim, Betzabé García and Pablo Martínez Pessi will reflect on these questions in connection to the contemporary documentary in Latin America.
