Garage Olimpo (1999)
Maria is a militant activist in an organisation opposed to the military dictatorship in Argentina. She teaches reading and writing in the shanty towns and lives with her mother in an old and run-down residence. One morning, Maria is carried off, in front of her mother, by a military squad dressed in civilian clothes. The young woman is taken to the Olimpo garage, one of the numerous torture chambers which haunt Buenos Aires to the general indifference of the population. In order to make Maria talk, Tigre, the head of the centre, gives her to one of his best men, Felix.

The Smile of the Leader (2011)
Using astounding footage from the Luce archives (newsreels, but also true films) Il sorriso del capo/The Smile of the Leader shows how propaganda works, presents everyday life in its most revealing details, and describes a country's "education". Marco Bechis explores the feeling of consensus: he tells us where it originates, what tools are used to spread it, how it is opposed. The thread running through the film is a voice, enigmatic until the end, narrating in the first person what it is like to grow up under fascism.

Il rumore della memoria (2014)
A documentary film that recounts the life of Vera Vigevani Jarach, through a firsthand account of two experiences that, over time and in different places, shaped her life, confronting her under two different dictatorships that made deportation and physical elimination commonplace: Nazism and Fascism and the Argentine dictatorship. The disappearance of her daughter Franca inspired Vera to become a founder of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo and a "memory activist," touring Italy and Argentina to tell her two stories, ensuring that these horrors never happen again.
