MALVINAS: LEGACY OF BLOOD

More than forty years after the armed conflict in the Islas Malvinas, a group of Argentine veterans embarks on an unprecedented journey: to return to the land where they once fought—this time, accompanied by their children and grandchildren. For them, this trip is not only a reunion with the past but also an act of passing down memory—an opportunity for new generations to understand history through the voices of those who lived it.
Through a deeply human lens, Malvinas: Legacy of Blood reconstructs the experience of these soldiers, balancing the memory of horror with the pursuit of peace. The film immerses us in moving testimonies, where stories of battles, sacrifice, and loss intertwine with the fresh, curious perspectives of the young girls accompanying them. These girls—a daughter and a granddaughter of veterans—represent the future: a generation that inherits not only the pain of war but also the responsibility of keeping history alive.
The documentary features never-before-seen footage of the Islas Malvinas, achieving a cinematic milestone by being the first to film at night in the Darwin Cemetery, capturing an atmosphere of overwhelming intimacy. It also includes 2D animation sequences that bring to life events never before depicted in such detail—from the sinking of the ARA General Belgrano to critical moments on the front lines. These sequences complement the veterans’ accounts, allowing viewers to vividly and emotionally visualize scenes that had previously existed only in the memories of those who lived them.
More than a war documentary, Malvinas: Legacy of Blood is a portrait of memory, sacrifice, and identity—a universal story about the inheritance of the past and the power of testimony in shaping the future.
