→ Some had been tortured before being thrown out to die.
With tears in their eyes, cinema W a packed of Argentines confronted were this week, some not for the first time, with the horrors of the so-called "death flights" carried out by the country's 1976-1983 military dictatorship.
They had gathered in Buenos Aires for one of the first domestic screenings of Traslados (Transferred) an investigative documentary on a very dark chapter of the South American country's not-too distant history.
The title refers to prisoners activists and others viewed as enemies of the military junta - who were rounded up on the pretext of being "transferred", then loaded into planes and thrown out over the River Plate, some already dead but many still alive.
Many were tortured before.
There are still large gaps in what is known about the death flights, including the identities of many of the victims.
The new film "puts evidence on the table, brings together all the pieces and everything known...about the death flights," director Nicolas Gil Lavedra said ahead of the screening in Buenos Aires.
