The article presents information on films. In Marco Bechis's film "Garage Olimpo," one is given the opportunity to watch a tough-minded picture about state terror in Argentina during the dirty war of the mid-seventies: a drama about a young woman who is disappeared for the crime of teaching slum dwellers to read and about the remarkably sensitive torturer who thinks she must be his girlfriend, since she cannot get away from him. Another movie "Spoils of War," by David Blaustein," is an unspeakably moving documentary about Argentina's grandmothers of the Plaze de Mayo.
