Watch the 1985 movie “La Historia Oficial”
by director Luis Puenzo. Should be over a page and less than 2 pages- Double Spaced
1.A short summary of the film (no more than one paragraph to leave space for the other
two components) 2. A discussion of what course material (lectures and/or reading materials) that helped
you understand the context of the movie and/or any connections you found between
the movie content and the course material (1-2 paragraphs) (I will give you some course material to write about). 3. Your reflections on the themes of the movie (1-3 paragraphs). This is open-ended and
you can discuss any themes that were salient to you, but if you need more direction
you might consider the themes of the value, nature and costs of seeking truth and/or
the contribution of communal memory (versus written history) in constructing a true
story.
