Film Description
Little is known about the involvement of the French military in Operation Condor, established in 1975 by the autocratic governments of South America. This supranational criminal organization's mission was the extermination of political opponents, both in their own countries and abroad.
For the first time ever, South American generals, and particularly, perpetrators of Argentina's "Dirty War," speak in front of the (sometimes hidden) camera. They describe the interrogation lessons taught by French officers in the 1960's and 70's, the torture techniques, and the flights over the Atlantic where many fell to their deaths.
