Editorial Reviews

After the fall of the military dictatorship in 1983, successive democratic governments launched a series of reforms purporting to turn Argentina into the world's most liberal and prosperous economy. Less than twenty years later, the Argentinians have lost literally everything: major national companies have been sold well below value to foreign corporations; the proceeds of privatizations have been diverted into the pockets of corrupt officials; revised labour laws have taken away all rights from employees; in a country that is traditionally an important exporter of foodstuffs, malnutrition is widespread; millions of people are unemployed and sinking into poverty; and their savings have disappeared in a final banking collapse. The film highlights numerous political, financial, social and judicial aspects that mark out Argentina's road to ruin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like A Cold Shower For the Economically Ignorant, March 27, 2009

By 

Slippy "Slippy" (Sealy, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Social Genocide (Origianal Spanish Version with English Subtitles) (DVD)

This film summarizes the the plight of Argentina and how a nation as rich as America lost everything to the banks through its governments ignorance, greed and corruption. For anyone unfamiliar with the term "hyperinflation" this is the best modern film to outline the effect it has on the society and how corruption and a docile public are the two keys to its development. This is a good preview of America, should we continue our debt based economy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong Actors Listed, October 26, 2007

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Social Genocide ( Memoria del saqueo ) ( Mémoire d'un saccage ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Spain ] (DVD)

Don't see why Jagger,Richards and Wood are cosidered actors starring in this film as I didn't see them at all. Just a small photo on the back cover of the DVD,this is misleading!
