General Videla Part 4: Dictator in the Courtroom

The Falklands War casts a long shadow over Argentina as the junta
teeters on the verge of collapse. The country slowly returns to
democracy. But that isn’t the end of Videla’s time in the
spotlight. As a heroic legal case is brought against him, justice
for his victims finally seems within reach. We’ll meet a man who
sat mere feet away from Videla in the courtroom - a young
prosecutor with the hopes of a nation resting on his shoulders… A
Noiser production, written by John Bartlett. Many thanks to Edward
