Strategy of Silence (Cover-Up Documentary)

Dr.Docs' Take

Families facing a government wall of silence and a full media blackout, refusing to stop asking what actually happened to their people. My entire worldview is in this film: the cover-up is usually confirmed by how hard the plain truth is to obtain. Watch how much effort goes into keeping ordinary people from a simple answer. A sober, quietly furious study of grief versus official amnesia, and grief does not tire easily.

Faced with a media blackout and a wall-of-silence from the government, a small group of families of the victims led by Beatriz Garrote begin what at first appears to be a hopeless cause – to find the truth about what happened that fateful day and seek justice for those who died. The Strategy of Silence chronicles their 9 year struggle, and along the way exposes government corruption, mass safety breaches, a cynical culture of cover-ups and both a media and judiciary in thrall to government officials.
