Argentina, 1985, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, tells the story of prosecutors Julio Strassera and Luis Moreno Ocampo, who in 1985 brought the commanders of the last dictatorship of the country to trial. The military was accused of having committed crimes against humanity during the regime of Jorge Rafael Videla.

The film, directed by Santiago Mitre, is inspired by these real events and shows how both prosecutors handled the case without being intimidated by political power and threats.
