I saw "The Penguin Lessons" today. It's a moving yet funny story, based on real life, set in Argentina, at
the start of the military's "Dirty War". The junta 'disappeared' 30,000 people. This movie touchs on the fear of the people and how people with money were spared. The main focus is on an adorable penguin. I cried twice. Once during the abduction of a young woman and at the end of the movie. When I was in Buenos Aires in 2017, I visited the Plaza de Mayo and saw the memorial and those women, The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, who still march.
I recommend this film to DUers who are shocked by the ICE disappearing going on today in this country.
