Dignity of the Nobodies

The documentary takes up Argentina. At the centre of the account are the risings of December 2001. The film tells of the economic collapse that led to those days. The social disorder that followed is inside the account too. The work tells it through individual people. It goes into the poorest shanty neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires. Hospitals falling apart are in the film as well. Middle-class women farmers are also part of the account. These women are fighting to keep their land. What stands against them are multinational banks. The film shows these struggles standing side by side. Fernando E. Solanas’s Argentine documentary of 2005 runs a hundred and twenty minutes.
