SATURDAY, NOV. 22 • 2:00
SCREENING FOLLOWED BY A CONVERSATION WITH PRODUCER SARAH SCHOELLKOPF
Before being the feminist powerhouse that she’s known to be today, Nora Cortiñas was a traditional housewife. She was catapulted into her country’s political life when the 1976-82 military dictatorship kidnapped her son Gustavo and thousands of other young activists.
Shunned by the government, church and media, Nora takes to the streets in 1977 with other mothers of the “disappeared”. Together they create the Madres of Plaza de Mayo resistance movement, and fight a brutal struggle for justice against the violent authoritarian regime. Despite imprisonment and executions, Nora and the Mothers outlast the dictatorship and emerge as a triumphant symbol of human rights, rebellion, and protest.
Directors Jayson McNamara, Andrea Tortonese (Argentina/US 2024) 88 min.
