SILVIA

In 1977, Silvia Suppo was kidnapped and raped by the last civic-military dictatorship in Argentina. As result, she became pregnant and she underwent an abortion by repressors who tried to "to correct the mistake." In 2009, her testimony was key in the first jugdment for crimes against humanity that condemned a federal judge, Victor Brusa, and his task force. Three months later, he was brutally murdered in their trade in Rafaela (Sta. Fe, Arg). Today her murder remains unpunished.
This documentary reconstructs Silvia in her multiple dimensions: woman, mother and friend, in her political side and in her sensitivity also, for us all to know more of her than the cause. We seek for a truth to make justice over her death but, above all, that rescues the value of her life.
