Argentina, 1985 (2022)

After coming through a brutal military dictatorship, Argentina's new government decides that those who were responsible during that time must be prosecuted. They select Julio Strassera, a competent but quiet prosecutor, who must then find a willing team to work with him despite threats of violence from those who prefer to leave the past unexamined. I admit that I was sometimes confused about who was who -- this entire subject was completely new to me -- but I didn't need to follow every beat to get it. 

It reminded me a bit of The Untouchables, in which Eliot Ness fought an unpopular war with a cobbled-together team of the untested. This, however, felt more rooted in reality, enabling me to easily envision the future in the United States in a decade or so. Hopefully our incoming government is more familiar with this chapter in history than I was and will take heed.
