What it’s about. Of the 30,000 "disappeared" during the reign of the Argentine Military Junta in the 1970s and early 1980s, a disproportionate number, nearly 3,000, were Jews. Murderer portrays the victims, who were murdered by fiercely anti-Semitic soldiers, and their anguished families, whose lives were torn apart by what happened to their loved ones. These families also demand justice, which was denied them when amnesty was granted to the military officers implicated in the torture and murders. In a striking and surprising scene, neighbors "escrachan" one of the repressors and try to expel him from the quiet neighborhood where he had retired to live. A stark examination of the wound in a country that has not yet healed.
