“In the early 70u0026#39;s, in Uruguay, the revolutionary group Tupamaro kidnaps an American trainer of torture and the Brazilian consul, and through the interrogation of the abducted American, the big picture of Uruguay (and other Latin America countries) is reported.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu0026quot;État de Siegeu0026quot; is a testimony of the history of Latin America in the 70u0026#39;s, during my childhood and adolescence. All the democratic governments elected by people were discharged through coup du0026#39;état by military dictatorships supported by the American government, the police and military forces trained in tortures by American advisors, student and union leaderships destroyed and revolutionary groups unsuccessfully fighting against the dictatorial regime. The fantastic director Costa Gravas exposes this serious wound in Latin America and this denunciation shall never be forgotten by the next generations. This movie remains amazingly real and important, sometimes recalling a documentary. Only this month this film was released on DVD in Brazil, and it is a worthwhile investment. My vote is ten.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTitle (Brazil): u0026#39;Estado de Sítiou0026quot; (u0026quot;State of Siegeu0026quot;)”
