Details

• Release Year: 1991

• Plot: Renowned Dr. Joel Filartiga (Anthony Hopkins) runs a free health clinic in strife-torn Paraguay with his wife Nidia (Norma Aleandro). Under the brutal dictatorship of General Stroessner, kidnapping, torture and murder are common, and Filartiga is an outspoken critic of the government, speaking openly despite death threats to himself - until his son is mysteriously murdered. It doesn't take Filartiga long to discover his son was a victim of brutal torture by the police and, enraged, he attacks the government through the courts with the help of criminal lawyer Perrone (Ruben Blades). They are blocked at every turn as the law is twisted by the authorities until it breaks, and Filartiga's struggle for justice becomes more than one man's fight against the government. This is one man's war.
