Film based on real-life horror breaks records in Argentina

Daniel escaped in 1988 and never served prison time. The film is part of a wave of renewed attention to the Puccio case on the 30th anniversary of the police raid that captured the family. The interest comes at a time when Argentina is still learning details of the crimes of a 1976-1983 military dictatorship in which thousands of suspected leftists were seized, tortured and secretly killed. After democracy returned, the country saw a wave of kidnappings blamed on former soldiers and police who had turned from seizing dissidents for the state to kidnapping businessmen for ransom. The country has been riveted by the mysterious death of a prosecutor who had accused the president of covering up a terror bombing. [...] a scandal over the country's spy agency has revealed that some agents from the dictatorship era are still linked to the intelligence services.
