Film: Awakening from Sorrow- Buenos Aires 1997 March 19, 2010

This collaboration between Bay Area filmmakers John Knoop (who will be present for this screening) and Karina Epperlein highlights the activism of H.I.J.O.S. - a group made up of the sons and daughters of those killed or gone missing at the hands of the Argentine military between 1976 and 1983. Memories of the vanished generation, known as the Desaparecidos, have been kept alive by their surviving children (hijos), some of whom were merely days old when their parents disappeared. The hijos' black-and-white drawings, used by the directors as segues and backdrops to their storytelling, are chilling in scope and effect. Director’s website: www.johnknoop.com
