An essay on the sociopolitical situation in Argentina between 1945 and 1968, The Hour of the Furnaces was filmed clandestinely during the Cold War, in a Latin America ruled by oligarchies and pro-American military dictatorships. It's a trilogy divided into chapters—Neocolonialism, Act of Liberation, Violence, and Liberation—and united by the theme of revolution.
